FILM
|
| FRI-MON Greener Grass at The Little Cinema |
In a day-glo-colored, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers, soccer moms and best friends Jill and Lisa are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn for the sinister when Lisa begins taking over every aspect of Jill's life - starting with her newborn daughter. Meanwhile, a yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill's husband has developed a taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. That's just the tip of the iceberg in this hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic.
