Growing Out

Uh! Uh! Uh!
I'm not really sure how to review this flick. I expected a horror movie, which is my forte', but I got a bizarre psychedelic transformation into unexplained worlds of cosmic mystification. Does my first sentence make sense? Of course not...and neither does this film from the get-go. It is a "trip"...definitely one you may want to nurture a bottle of wine (or whiskey) to be your movie theater date. Don't get me wrong, I liked it because it was different. However, movie-goers will probably not be able to equate the artwork on the DVD case to anything that transpires on the DVD. I gave it 3 stars because I'm still seeing stars. What the heck did I just watch? I don't know! Who's on first?

It keeps growing on me!
After much anticipation, I sat down for a private screening of Growing Out: I loved it!

Brilliant writing and acting. You'll feel a little nauseated, a little disappointed in the characters, and a little happy - all at the same time! It's not a feel good, leave numb movie. It's a movie you'll want to talk about after it ends, even if you are sitting around and everyone else is doing the talking.

Favorites: I grew attached to the gnome for some comic relief. A hand growing out of the basement - just as creepy as it sounds. I loved Archie's innocent energy and was captivated by Veronica's song in the tree.

A little comedy, romance, horror, fantasy, musical all in one! An absolute must see!

Definitely makes you think!
This is definitely a movie that makes you think. Some gruesome parts, but not necessarily scary - a little more suspenseful than anything else. Would for sure recommend this movie!
