Lawn Dogs

Youngster Devon (Mischa Barton) is transplanted by her parents into an uptight gated community, Camelot Gardens. The lonely and imaginative ten-year-old girl escapes the confines of her new 'community' and makes friends with an isolated eccentric, Trent (Sam Rockwell), who lives in a trailer on the outskirts of town. Trent mows the lawns of Devon's family and is looked down upon by the upper-class denizens of Camelot Gardens. When their secret friendship is revealed the community explodes, unable to understand the innocent bond between the two outcasts.

  A sweet film with loveable characters
  
  Despite being one of those films where not much really happens, certainly not in the sense of action or drama, it was surprisingly enjoyable. The characters ... read more »

  Clichés galore!
  
  I really wouldn't bother. The film is stuffed with clichés and is cutesy American. The cutting is clumsy in places, too. But, above all, it's ... read more »
