Greener Grass Reviews
Greener Grass, you had me at, "YOU'RE a school!", and, as we all know, if anyone's a school... it's Julian.
Should've been a short film. Humor was great at times but mostly hard to sit through for the length of time.
This is the kind of comedy I hope we aren't destined for as a society. Greener Grass was so strikingly unfunny and almost pretentious in its attempt to be funny that I have to question every critic and viewer who gave it a positive review. I only half chuckled at one brief scene, but beyond that I struggled watching it and I'll never watch another film by the writers and producers who created it. I wish I had the time back I wasted watching it.
A gratingly painful watch. A sadistically unfunny and pointless 'comedy' with a horribly saturated colour palate. You will wish you had not bothered.
So good, so weird. Better with bong hits.
If you like the surreal absurdly funny, this will be right up your alley. Hints of Monty Python's Meaning of Life sketches i.e. "Can we have your liver then?" and if you liked the Ministry of Silly Walks ;)
This movie is terrible. It makes no sense whatsoever with no coherent plot other than "polite lady does what people want and it ruins her life". It is not funny. I laughed once AT the film not with it. The most bizarre thing about it is, you watch the film where strange things happen and everyone just accepts it as normal, but then you read the amazing reviews and see 4-5 star ratings for it and wonder for a sec if the "plot" of this trash has spilled over into your real life. I genuinely do not see why it gets such good reviews. The aesthetics are pretty I guess.
Utterly bizarre and powerful. The comedic elements surprisingly do not outweigh the sickness of Greener Grass.
bahahaha; i think the key is knowing what you're getting into before you watch this one, haha. if you like quirky weird randomness, then you might enjoy this one.
Literally the worst movie I've ever watched. So many problems. I'll focus on the two worst issues. The first problem was that Hulu listed this as a comedy/horror film. So I'm waiting for an hour and a half for the "horror" to drop. Spoiler: it doesn't. What is billed as "horror" in this movie is really just a vague sense of unease brought on by the character's bizarre behavior. Now, I get that this movie is supposed to "skewer" suburban life, but it does it in such a surreal, unbelievable way that it completely lost me. The characters are impossible to identify with, and the world is completely nonsensical. Which brings me to the other big problem: The world is so strange that I kept wanting an explanation. Are we in some idiocracy-style, degenerated future? Are these weird pod people imitating humanity? I hope you weren't hoping for an explanation like I was, because there isn't one. We are just placed into a world as preposterous as "The Naked Gun", only it's not funny, and there's no justification given. Worst movie ever. Especially if you want a "horror" film.
Less of a feature film and more of a cinematic art piece - “Greener Grass” is a wildly unique, absolutely absurd breakdown of the façade which makes up the American dream. Freewheeling, unsettling, and sometimes hilarious, this is a truly original experience. Writer/Director/Stars DeBoer and Luebbe are great, as well as their supporting screen partners, Casey and Bennett.
Super odd movie and weird humor....but I couldn't take my eyes off of it. Couldn't stop chuckling/laughing as well
Take the retro-utopian neighborhood of Edward Scissorhands and add Twin Peaks-meets-Black Mirror sensibilities with a dash of Tim and Eric. ¡Voila! Visceral counter culture commentary with moments of gag-inducing slapstick. SNL-gone-dark skits which tie together to form the perfect comedy for couples who dread suburban suffocation.
Dark comedies are my favorite genre. This movies IS NOT for everyone, but I LOVED it. I took it as a documentary about a suburban wife trapped in the mode of being overly polite and trying to please everyone to the extreme. Some will think stupid, I found brilliant. Laughed thru the entire movie!
A good movie would have had some sort of conclusion at the end. The end of this film just leaves you unsatisfied that the story never really went anywhere.
Oof, is correct. What a buzz kill. From the first kiss to the last tear this was a conglomeration of raunchy skit thrown over terrible dialog. They say do not look for substances in the frolicking gags, hey, I am just looking for a joke.
Hilarious, creepy, and memorable.
Utterly insane and pretty much plotless but compelling in that it's impossible to predict what is going to happen next.
This is what an amazing improv sketch would look like if it was an hour and a half long and if it wasn't bound to a stage performance and cheap props.
