Greenfingers by the DVD Man

Greenfingers is an excellent example of a gentle, fun English comedy, very much in the old Ealing Studios style. Eccentric and finely drawn characters inhabit Greenfingers.

From the first line, "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, I'm about to F**k up again, So what else is new?" to the end, it's easy to enjoy this movie.

It stars Clive Owen, Helen Mirren & David Kelly (who was in Waking Ned Devine). It's based on a true story of prisoner gardeners who got to enter the prestigious Hampton Court Flower Show and actually won.

It's a lot of fun - zero Franks, but some chickens.
