Tim Blake Nelson's Leaves of Grass is a comic thriller seen through the dual perspectives of identical twins Bill and Brady Kincaid (both played by two-time Academy Award® nominee Edward Norton). Bill, a classical philosophy professor at Brown University, returns home upon news of his brother Brady's murder in a drug deal gone awry. Bill quickly learns that Brady's death has been grossly exaggerated, as he's swept up into one of his brother's crazy schemes. Alongside his eccentric mother (Susan Sarandon) and a beautiful woman named Janet (Keri Russell), Bill participates in his brother's wild plan, leading him on a twisted path filled with unique characters and life's most challenging questions. Also starring Richard Dreyfuss and writer-director Nelson, Leaves of Grass merges crime drama, drug comedy and classical philosophy, as it attempts to answer one of the oldest questions in the world: What does it truly mean to be happy?

MPAA Rating: R for violence, pervasive language and drug content

Cast: Edward Norton, Susan Sarandon, Keri Russel and Richard Dreyfuss

Yay, I didn't feel like a mass media consuming Hollywood tool after watching a comedy for the first time in YEARS! (By the way- Mr. Norton, even a cameo in Sasha Baron Cohen's latest insult to people betting their tip money on an evening's entertainment was beneath you)

This movie is literary heart soul & guts. Ed Norton is, besides endearing, cleverly able to handle dual role with a skilled ease the South would call 'greasy'. There's no harm in being the shine of any good story, let alone two.

The acting, the character dynamics, Edward Norton being a boss as per usual, Richard goddam Dreyfuss, marijuana, comedy, drama, comedy and violence, which were all wonderful. Instant favorite of mine when I first saw it.
