Lawn Dogs

Meh. Nothing special here. Rockwell's pretty good. About it.

i dont know what to think about the ending, but up till then it's a stand up drama. heartwarming and powerful.

Both Sam Rockwell and Mischa Barton deliver awesome performances in the movie. Although the plot seems to advance in fits and starts at times, and the ending is sort of hasty, the story is very original and sweet, and leaves a very clear message without being too obvious or treating the viewer as if they were an idiot. Highly recommendable.

An evocative suburban fairytale, allusive, ambivalent, provocative and powerful. One of my favourite films.

Takes quite some time to get going but ends on a very high note.

Perhaps the least subtle class allegory ever made, it's at least got a good heart (rim shot) and a pair of wonderful central performances. Completely falls apart at the end, where late-90s magical realism cliches spring forth and make the last act a little too goopy and leaves a number of threads dangling like the ribbons in the trees. The finale also relies on the idea that an armed guard would be reluctant to shoot an 8 year old with a gun... what would the NRA say?!

Top badass moment? By way of disclosure, I work part-time as a gardener... Trent, a guy with a perfect body - of course - does a superb job of looking after the gardens of the rich and privileged. He takes a local girl under his wing, whose parents have less emotional intelligence than Mr. Sheen. Dealing with local bullies, he bravely defends her from everyone and everything, before planting a huge forest and driving off into the sunset. 1 (well maintained) chainsaw, no cats or decapitations.

Great story of innocent friendship and class struggles. Well worth a watch.

Stale and awkward acting. Although I should've given this movie a 100 because of Rockwell's yummy nakedness. But I didn't, cause the rest of the movie wasn't that good

Excellent film, Sam Rockwell is a star.

I wanted to like Lawn Dogs with its quirks and humor, but some odd plot propellants, a lack of subtlety, and a perplexing ending wouldn't allow it.

Delicious.
