Homegrown Movie Review 1997

Engaging comedy-noir has three dense Norther California pot growers (Thornton, Azaria, Phillippe) witness their Boss's (Lithgow) murder. Seeing this as a bad omen, they take off, with the crop, to the operation's packaging department (Lynch) and decide to carry on as if the boss is still alive. Amid many cameos (Danson, Curtis) they set up a big deal with a seemingly laid-back wholesaler (Bon Jovi).
