Critics Consensus: Watching grass grow would likely be more entertaining than this dull, slight feature about a sod salesman.

The movie has its flaws, but they are few and forgivable.
Southern whimsy, when handled delicately, can produce a precious jewel a la Junebug. In less skillful hands, it can be merely precious.
Knoxville tries hard and exudes a certain likability, but can't really handle big dramatic moments at this point in his career.
A weird, unpleasant little movie.
Although the film starts off somewhat amusingly, the first-time feature director Katrina Holden Bronson seems to have spent more energy assembling the overbearing soundtrack than expanding on her characters' fractured relationships.
Anyone looking for a paean to the unnatural allure of a sprinklered lawn can see that the grass is greener in Blue Velvet.
It'd be nice if Tarantino would go back to making his own films (which are usually pretty doggoned good) rather than helping out young filmmakers to produce garbage.
For all its good intentions, Daltry Calhoun is a predictable, derivative film.
Contains a couple of lovely scenes that are all but smothered by a shambling mess of self-conscious eccentricity.
Unusual and in places refreshing, Daltry Calhoun is a good natured independent comedy drama independent film fans will endorse.
It seems everyone involved meant well, but this one moves like an empty boat in a pond.
Boasts Quentin Tarantino as co-executive producer but falls about as far from that particular tree as one can imagine.
A cute feel-good movie. It was okay...

Very funny!
[font=Century Gothic]In "Daltry Calhoun", Daltry Calhoun(Johnny Knoxville) is on the surface a very successful man, having made his fortune from inventing a new brand of turf.(Daltry's dream is to host a USGA sponsored tournament on a golf course on the property he owns.) Having seen one of his commercials, Daltry's ex, May(Elizabeth Banks), and their daughter, June(Sophie Traub), a precocious 14-year old with dreams of attending Julliard, arrive in town to see him. May is dying and wants to find a good home for her daughter before she dies. But Daltry is actually on the verge of ruin, brought on by the side effects of his invention...[/font] [font=Century Gothic][/font] [font=Century Gothic]"Daltry Calhoun" is not a bad movie, exactly, but it also has nothing new to say about the changes in life and being prepared for them. The movie tries to rely on a quirky charm which is frankly not there. And Knoxville does make for an awkward lead.[/font]
