moonspinner55 There's a cute visual introduction to Drew Barrymore's pregnant character in "Home Fries": shot from above, while walking to work, Barrymore's enlarged tummy leads the way. Unfortunately, "Fries" is an obtuse black comedy, which mistakes ridiculous behavior for the sublime. Drew's an unmarried fast-food waitress who is clumsily romanced by the stepson of the married man who got her in trouble. Subplot about the married schnook having been "scared to death" by his stepson and brother due to an elaborate prank contains practically no interest whatsoever, while Barrymore's character is kept unceremoniously behind the counter. It's a disastrous picture, full of inept writing and unsure directing, wasting the talents of its leading lady and some smart supporting players. As the love-interest, Luke Wilson registers zero; he's a constipated Prince Charming. NO STARS from ****

Michael O'Keefe This romantic comedy gets almost too manic to watch. A very good cast in a goofball story. Drew Barrymore plays Sally Jackson, a pregnant fast-food drive thru window person, who learns the father of her baby is not only married...but dead to boot. Unknowingly one the man's step-sons(Luke Wilson) falls in love with her, while his brother(Jake Busey) is ordered by their mother(Catherine O'Hara) to murder her. Revenge is chaotic. My least favorite scene is the burial sequence and my favorite takes place at the Lamaze class. This quirky dark comedy would fall apart without Barrymore doing her very best to hold the whole thing together. Also featured in the cast: Daryl Mitchell, Shelley Duvall and Jill Parker-Jones.

wizairde This is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Barrymore lays yet another egg. Why doesn't she just quit already?It's a good movie if you're bored watching grass grow.Mean, I know. But the movie just comes off trashy and boring. Highlighting a life let's hope is found only in the most remote of places anymore.More like brain fried, just check the rating, which is high at 4.9 or whatever it is now.Enough hatefulness, you've been warned. Use your money to rent that C- movie you've been intrigued with.

MizzDepp There`s two words to describe this movie: weird and boring. Drew Barrymore is one of my favourite actresses, and I love Luke Wilson, but they both REALLY let me down in this movie. The families are completely messed up, the story line is strange (and dull) from the very beginning. I regret buying the movie (it was on sale, what can I say? Mindya, now I know WHY it was on sale). The movie is about killing family members, infidelity,psychoticness (if that`s even a word!)...it`s just very strange. Plus I lost my interest A LOT during this movie. The critics said this was a "funny" movie, I thought it was completely ridiculous. Wow, I can`t believe two of my favourite actors could make such a flop of a movie!
