Great Movie.....
Greenfingers is the story of Colin, a convict in the British prison system. Colin, who has been in prison for over ten years, is a model prisoner. When he is eligible for bail he is sent to a `work camp' style prison (Edgefield), where he is supposed to learn a trade.Not caring about his fate, Colin isn't particularly choosy about which trade he learns and ends up in Maintenance. Eventually, inspired by his elderly roommate, Colin learns to garden. Through gardening, he finds a way to put the past behind him and heal himself and others by growing wonderful plants and contributing to the community. Inspired by Colin's success a new work furlow program is initiated. . Through the program Colin makes new friends, a new love interest, and helps the men learn new skills. When a valuable art artifact is stolen from the work site, Colin and the convicts are blamed. Can Colin overcome his trouble to prove that Gardening has been helpful in rehabilitating the inmates of Edgefield?Although this movie was billed as a comedy, its not, really. I'd call it more of an `inspirational' movie of the sleepy `driving Miss Daisy' variety. Colin is a likeable character with a checkered past. The fulfillment he finds gardening is quite entertaining. The other convicts are well portrayed and believable. I recommend Greenfingers for those who are looking for an inspirational movie everyone will enjoy. You won't be disappointed.
