"Green Fingers" is a light hearted comedy about a motley group of prison inmates who become horticulturists on a work release program. In other words, the film relies heavily on the comic relief to be found in a group of macho convicts growing flowers. Owen and Mirren lead the way in this underdone flick with no highs or lows, some romance, understated poignancy, and lots of dry Brit wit. "Greenfingers" makes for an enjoyable watch though it may be too easy-going for its own good and will leave some viewers feeling unsatisfied. (B-)
