In a day-glo-coloured, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers, soccer moms and best friends Jill and Lisa are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn into the sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over every aspect of Jill's life-starting with her new-born daughter. Meanwhile, a psycho yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill's husband has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. That's just the tip of the gloriously weird iceberg that is the feature debut from writers-directors Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, a hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic.
“Greener Grass won't exactly make you envious of the over-idealized lifestyle it skewers, and yet it's such a delightful place to inhabit, you won't want to leave when the credits roll.” - Peter Debruge, Variety
“It’s…wacky Adult Swim-ready, David Lynch-inflected ridiculousness is like a litmus test for different tastes. This one is for those who like their comedies extra wacky, and random…“ - Nick Allen, Roger Ebert
