What is there to say about the new trailer for “Greener Grass?” Well, the short version is that the trailer for the new film, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, is probably one of the weirdest, hilarious things you’ll see all day. The long version? Oh boy, there’s a lot to discuss.
The trailer for “Greener Grass” will likely make you laugh, as it’s a comedy that pushes the absurdity to the max, but will also make you question everything. Why are they all wearing braces? What’s up with the kid turning into a dog? Why does this neighborhood feel like “The Stepford Wives” meets ‘SNL?’ I have yet to see the film, so I’m without answers. What I do know, however, is that I’m going to watch the hell out of “Greener Grass.”

The film stars Jocelyn DeBoer, Dawn Luebbe, Beck Bennett, Neil Casey, Mary Holland, and D’Arcy Carden. DeBoer and Luebbe also serve as the film’s writers and directors. So, if you watch the trailer and want to know who’s crazy mind this came from, those ladies are to blame. Or congratulate. Up to you.
“Greener Grass” will hit select theaters and VOD on October 18.
Here’s the synopsis:
In a day-glo-colored, bizarro version of suburbia where adults wear braces on their already-straight teeth, everyone drives golf carts, and children magically turn into golden retrievers, soccer moms and best friends Jill (Jocelyn DeBoer) and Lisa (Dawn Luebbe) are locked in a passive aggressive battle-of-the-wills that takes a turn into the sinister when Lisa begins systematically taking over every aspect of Jill’s life—starting with her newborn daughter. Meanwhile, a psycho yoga teacher killer is on the loose, Jill’s husband (Beck Bennett) has developed a curious taste for pool water, and Lisa is pregnant with a soccer ball. That’s just the tip of the gloriously weird iceberg that is the feature debut from writers-directors Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, a hilariously demented, Stepford Wives-on-acid satire destined to be an instant cult classic.
