Homegrown is a 1998 American dark comedy-drama thriller film directed by Stephen Gyllenhaal and starring Billy Bob Thornton, John Lithgow and Hank Azaria.

The plot follows marijuana harvesters in Northern California who become drawn into a world of crime bosses and corrupt cops.

At a growers' social event, Jack speaks to a colleague Sierra who seems to know about Malcolm's demise.

At Lucy's, she and the increasingly more and more nervous trio end up getting kidnapped by someone in a ski mask demanding Malcolm.

Danny tells him the growers all know about Malcolm's death, as they were responsible for it, so offers him a much lower price for not being transparent about it.

Jack starts to walk away as a bargaining tactic, however Harlan's head pops up, causing Danny to bolt.

[2] In a positive review, Lawrence Van Gelder of The New York Times praised the cast and the film's plot "that mingles murder mystery, rustic comedy, outlaw sociology, plant husbandry, lusty romance and layers of old-fashioned avarice, which is to say old-fashioned business".

[3] Leonard Klady of Variety wrote the film "[opts] for a droll tone that puts the yarn of illegal growing and selling into the leagues of muted outlawism that characterized such vintage fare as 'Beat the Devil' and 'The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight'", adding that the film's ensemble cast, with the exception of Thornton and Lithgow, are "seemingly unsupported by direction or precision from the script.
