Synopsis: What happens when a group of prisoners are released to a minimum security prison and begin creating prizewinning gardens, even being invited to the most prestigious garden show in England? Clive Owen plays Colin Briggs the leader of this misfit group of gardeners – prisoners with hearts of gold – most of whom have never ever even thought of working in a garden before. Yet when they are forced to do so they take advantage of the opportunity. Helen Mirren plays the expert gardener who comes to their aid and you have to know she’s an avid gardener, she has even named her daugher Primrose.

Comments: What a fun, delightful movie. My husband enjoyed this even more than I did, I think! I had never even heard of it before but it sounded intriguing and I was in the mood for a comedy. This was just pure fun to watch and was a feel-good movie.
