Based on a true story, convicts in Her Majesty's Prison begrudgingly learn the trade of gardening. What a charming English movie!

A delightful, warm-hearted and wonderful movie. A great and magnificent surprise. A fun, riveting and extroadinary film. Has it's serious moments mixed in with some feel-good humor. Clive Owen is excellent. David Kelly is brilliant.

This was a nice prison gardening film with interesting characters. It has funny moments. The garden show was a bit harsh punishment for these men to be doing time for.

Critic Reviews
Greenfingers is so darn cute it's like a Meg Ryan movie with accents. full review
Each time you think the genre that brought us Waking Ned Devine, Saving Grace and Billy Elliot, has run its course, along comes another one. full review
Amusing enough to watch and passes the time, but it's the kind of movie you're content to wait for on your friendly indie cable channel. full review
