Greenfingers follows the British feel-good formula of underdogs somehow beating the odds, adding nothing new to this already saturated genre.

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.

Can 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.

Audience Reviews for Greenfingers

Clive Owen, Helen Mirren, Danny Dyer, Warren Clarke ? sounds like a pretty good line up of Actors, yet this story is so ridiculous, it has to be true!! Having only caught the film just a little way in, there was hope that this could turn into a pretty good film, unfortunately that wasn't the case and I have to say, I can't believe that such a cast would have associated themselves with such a silly film, this should have been a one off TV Drama.
