Dean_Parisot's Home Fries captures all the quirkiness of Vince_Gilligan's darkly comic screenplay while smartly letting the actors charm the audience. Drew_Barrymore and Luke_Wilson (who ended up dating during and after the making of the film) play characters whose actions should make them less than palatable to the audience, but their warmth and essential goodness win out. The director and the actors like these characters, and that gives the audience the opportunity to root for them while also ruefully accepting their less ingratiating aspects. Though the comedy may occasionally become too broad, the lead performers keep everything in check. Jake_Busey, Catherine O'Hara, and Shelley_Duvall all provide solid support for Barrymore and Wilson who, along with the filmmakers, manage to fashion a romantic comedy populated with characters who are both original and endearing. Home Fries is certainly slight, but its novelty keeps it interesting. Perry Seibert, Rovi
