DVD Description
Grow Your Own is a warm-hearted British comedy with a host of well-known British stars. A refugee family is given a plot to help rehabilitate their traumatized father. At first they are met with suspicion by the men who have worked the gardens for years but eventually they are accepted by their united love of making things grow.

Synopsis
A group of refugees are given plots in a Liverpool allotment, which initially leads to tension between themselves and the other allotment owners. The two groups of gardeners have to learn to get on with each other and the original allotment owners begin to slowly warm to the refugees. Gentle and touching comedy starring Eddie Marsan (SIXTY SIX), Benedict Wong (SUNSHINE), and Omid Djalili (PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - AT WORLD'S END).

5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, 3 Feb 2008
By L. Button "leebutton" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The story centres around the allotment and the characters therin. Along come a 'family' of asylum seakers who have been given a plot to assist with the rehab of one of the main characters. This causes a mild panic in the allotment with the regulars coping with this in differing ways. You do want the main character to come good and he does! Along the way there is some great acting, some tearful moments and some really touching performances and a big dose of humour (one or two mild expletives). A typical british film about how people live their introverted allotment life and how they cope with change. I watched this with my young family and we all loved it. I was the only one who cried though! A feel good film.

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart warmer., 16 Feb 2008
By L. W. Newton "lwn83" (Nottingham, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
We all loved this film, even my 15 year old Nephew!!

Grow You Own is a real heart warmer, with good old British humour and some very serious points as well.

A great story line that shows some of the ignorance that can blight old blighty, but also shows some of the strengths as well.

Rent it, you won't regret it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch this one grow, 15 Nov 2007
By J. Hall - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was lucky enough to attend a preview of this film and thought it was wonderful. 5 months on having watched it again it still has the same charm, humour and sensitivity. A topical and poignant film the subject matter dealt with in a subtle and thought provoking way. Frank Cotterell Boyce and Richard Laxton have produced a film which will entertain all veiwers and leave them examining their own prejudices.
Well done chaps!

1.0 out of 5 stars Grow Your Own
I was disappointed in this film, not least because they didn't use a real allotment but a rather dreary set. Much of it was just plain dull with a few humorous moments. Read more
