A story about family, friendly competition, adult braces, and suburban hell.
Listen in as me and guest, Dan, pull on our polo shirts and tighten our braces for this trippy flick.
Co-written and co-directed by Jocelyn DeBoer (Adam Ruins Everything, The Arrival) and Dawn Luebbe (Adam Ruins Everything, Dress A Cow), The Globe and Mail called the film "as enticing as it is bizarre," while The New York Times said it was "excruciatingly surreal." Rawr... Looks like this is another audience-divider like Napoleon Dynamite.
It tells the story of two mothers whose friendship and families begin to feel the strain of competition as Jill (DeBoer) and Lisa (Luebbe) continuously up the ante of being the better person/mother/friend/neighbor. Add in a killer on the lose, lots of mouth close ups, and a kid who turns into a dog and you get the swirling strangeness that is Greener Grass.
The film is currently available on Hulu, and on DVD and Blu-Ray.
