Michael says: “In this movie, based on a true story, a group of prisoners become championship gardeners in England. A true audience pleaser in the vein of WAKING NED DEVINE and THE FULL MONTY. Unfortunately, the film is a little too artificially put together to be very enjoyable. The films high point comes from the fabulous Helen Mirren’s performance as a Martha Stewart type celebrity garden-expert. Clive Owen, striking in CROUPIER plays the lead prisoner. David Kelly (from the afore-mentioned DEVINE) plays a supporting role.” 2 1/2 cats
