Movie Info
A fish-out-of-water comedy in the vein of 1997's oft-imitated The Full Monty, Greenfingers takes as its inspiration the true story of a group of British criminals who bettered themselves through the delicate art of gardening. Croupier's Clive Owen plays Colin Briggs, a taciturn inmate doing time for murder. When it's suggested he transfer to a minimum-security prison, Colin is reluctant; at the idyllic Edgefield compound, he's slow to warm to his gregarious, botanically inclined roomie Fergus

As synthetic as a rubber rose.
Top CriticCan be cute, and even heartwarming at times. But all too often, it's nearly insufferable.
It's just too bad the intended charm is applied with a shovel instead of a trowel. Romantic comedy is a delicate flower that can be smothered by too much fertilizer.
Pleasant, mildly uplifting entertainment.
Too contrived for its own good and it feels as artificial as a bouquet of plastic pansies.
A irresistível simpatia dos personagens eleva o filme a um outro nível de interesse.
There are many reasons to see GREENFINGERS. . . top of the list of reasons has to be its star, Clive Owen, a toothsome morsel of manflesh . . .
Greenfingers zips along at an agreeable pace and is full of colorfully engaging characters...
Greenfingers could have been such a load of garden manure, had it not been for some earthy direction, clever casting and very good writing.
"Greenfingers" turns out to be all thumbs.
