Homegrown

Homegrown (1998) is a crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Steven Gyllenhaal and set deep in the marijuana hills of Northern California. When their boss is found dead, three plantation workers — who know too much to walk away clean — decide to keep the crop and run the operation themselves.

Hank Azaria, Billy Bob Thornton, and Ryan Phillippe play the trio, and their collective inability to trust each other is funnier and more unsettling than any outside threat. Kelly Lynch shows up as the go-between. Ted Danson, John Lithgow, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Jon Bon Jovi each drift in and out, adding heat without quite tipping into farce.

Gyllenhaal — Maggie and Jake's father — cast his own children in small parts before either became famous. The film flopped on release but has the feel of something assembled by people who knew exactly what genre they were playing with. Stream Homegrown (1998) online on iFILM.
