Alright, gonna make this a daily thing again...

Lawn Dogs (1997)



Starring: Mischa Barton, Sam Rockwell, Christopher McDonald, Kathleen Quinlan

Plot Summary: Newly arrived in an up-market housing development, quiet ten-year-old Devon doesn't quite fit in. Ignoring the urgings of her social-climbing father, Devon chooses the company of Trent, who mows the estate's lawns, rather than of the girls her own age. Their friendship grows during her visits to his trailer home, but although it is completely innocent it is obvious that it would be unacceptable to the residents if they found out.

I saw it a couple years ago and it was what first got me interested in Sam Rockwell. Great job by him. Not usually my type of movie but I thought it was great.

My rating: 7/10
