Home Fries (1998)
5/10
likable Barrymore elevates this somewhat odd movie

SPOILERS:

I do have a fondness for Barrymore movies and liked her tremendously in this one. Homefries is a very strange movie overall. It starts out one way and then goes another. It's story is somewhat disjointed and although it is very interesting in the beginning, it sort of loses steam early on. What you think it is going to be about is not what it actually is.

I enjoyed Drew Barrymore in this role tremendously though even if I really didn't like the overall movie to much. The movie started one way and went off in a total different direction. The plot was all over the place and it is at times dull, others a bit obnoxious. Barrymore however keeps you watching, she is very good in this as Sally. Even if though overall movie was a bit to disjointed for me, Barrymore lends it a bit of a sparkle.

I liked the southern atmosphere as well. The direction was good and the movie nicely photographed at any rate.

Basically Homefries is neither really good nor really bad, it's main asset is Barrymore. My vote is 5 of 10 .
