| I'll admit that what made me go see "Home Fries," an eccentric
romantic comedy that looked suspiciously like the gazillions of other

Screwball romance? Honestly, just pick two and leave it alone. But that is
not what director Dean Parisot and...more |

| Home Fries Review |
| by Matt Williams |
| Home Fries is an unusual romantic comedy where you never quite know what
to expect. Just when you think you've figured it out, the film veers
off in a different direction. The end result may leave you disoriented,
but its ultimately pleasing. more |
