4.0 out of 5 stars A comic, heartwarming, rather old fashioned tale., 3 Feb 2003
Based on a true story, Greenfingers is about a man that gets transferred to an open prison and is befriended by an older inmate. As their friendship develops, he helps him find a purpose to his life after serving a sentence for the murder of his brother. From a gift of a packet of Viola seeds, we see the transformation of the prison garden and inmates, until they take their place at the prestigious Hampton Court Flower Show.

It is a comic, heartwarming, rather old fashioned tale with excellent performances from Clive Owen and Helen Mirren. This film draws its audience from armchair gardeners everywhere who sit glued to the many gardening makeover programmes which have found such popularity over the past few years. Well worth watching.

5.0 out of 5 stars One more of Britains finest, 20 Aug 2005
By Sandra Schaeffler "ladyofgondor6" (Bavaria, Germany) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
No one is as good with doing heartwarming little movies as the Britains. This is a touching comedy, noone with a heart would not love. Owen is adorable and so is the rest of the cast in this fine movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming tale, for when you're under the weather., 7 Feb 2008
By Prof TBun (Birmingham UK) - See all my reviews
There are times in life when you need things to be simple. To find pleasure in simple things, to watch life bloom in surprising ways and relax in the company of friends. That is what this film is about.

The cast are all old friends of ours, who help us breifly to forget our troubles, by showing us the restorative value in watching nature grow.

The perfomances are understated, there are no great lines delivered, no dramatic intensity. It is the clever use of flowers and plants that puts life into the story.

I recommend you watch this movie whether you are a gardener or not. However save it for when you are feeling low. It is all smiles from start to finish and is sure to cheer you up.
