Greener Grass

This comedy is eye catching because of the super colourful pastel colour scheme. The people and the community look so perfect. What happens though, is super weird in a funny and refreshing way. If this film was done any different, it would have been a horror film!

I watched this while eating some carrot cake and it was a swell time

This is one of the times where I cannot do justice to a movie by giving any plot as it may possibly put you off viewing what is one of the most original alternative comedy movies I've seen in decades, but suffice to say think of a comedic blend of Stepford Wives and Desperate Housewives. This is definitely a Marmite movie, you'll either love it or hate. I found it rather clever and completely absurd at the way it poked fun at middle class suburbia. Directed, Written by and starring Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe this is one of the most original movies for ages and I look forward to seeing what they have in store for us next. Two thumbs up.

Yeah this movie is messed up.

A dark comedy/horror on Hulu. The story was about a dystopian suburbia where people were super civilized, and it was mostly from the perspective of a soccer mom.

Gotta say this was one of the weirdest comedies I have ever watched. Throughout the movie, there was always a sense that I was watching people in an ideal world: the screen was a bit bright, the characters were nice to each other, always dress in pairs, and more.

The overarching theme of the movie was a satire on society, and what is considered the norm in that society. Most of the comedy came from the outlandish and uncomfortable things that the characters did that, while very deviant in real life, were very within the norm in this suburbia. The movie was jam-packed with social commentaries, satires, and symbols in every scene and dialogue. Some were straight-up disturbing, which made me agree that this movie is a horror. The satires were scary because they were true and relatable.

My only problem was that it felt like a collection of skits. At some points it felt like the story was not progressing.

Overall, an entertaining and disturbing movie. It will not be for everyone, as some might be very uncomfortable, or even offended. 8.5/10.

I never expected any movie to be this blatantly weird, but here it is. This black comedy from Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe (neither of whom I had ever heard of before now) shows all sorts of tensions arising in a gaudy suburban neighborhood. And by gaudy I mean that their clothes are an assault on the senses. There's bound to be something that'll go awry.

Whether you interpret "Greener Grass" as a parody of suburban gothic (the genre that includes "The Ice Storm" and "American Beauty") or a straightforward, unabashedly bizarre comedy, it's one to enjoy. I'm surprised that they were able to get funding, given the oddball, less-than-profitable nature of the story.

The only cast members whom I recognized were SNL cast members Beck Bennett and John Milhiser, as well as D'Arcy Carden (Janet on "The Good Place").
