10 'WTF Did I Just Pay To See' Movies

10. Greener Grass (2019)

Suburban USA has been the focal point for a lot of satire over the years, with the mundane lives of the average white-collar worker, the house- or trophy-wife and their nuclear family proving fertile ground for self-conscious hilarity in everything from the films of Joe Dante to the writings of Don DeLillo to the music of Ben Folds. But while the suburban situation as a whole has been done to death, Greener Grass finds a way to resurrect it - and then some.

Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe's surreal black comedy plants us in a bizarre suburban town where everything is exactly as it's supposed to be and nothing is as it seems. The adults wear braces, every colour is pastel, golf carts are the primary mode of transportation and everyday metaphysics aren't as stable as they once were.

At the centre of all this is housewife Jill Davies (DeBoer), who kicks things off by giving away her infant daughter at a sports game. Taking the idea of the 2.5 average kids to its illogical extreme, her neighbour Lisa (Luebbe) becomes pregnant with the football from her son's match, which becomes Twilson, the latest member of the clan after she delivers, while Jill's son Julian (Julian Hilliard) turns into a golden retriever, who the Davies send to school in people clothes.

Sure, there's marital breakdown, rebellious kids and home-swapping, but this is the suburbs like you've never seen them.
