Ag: Down on the Farm

Ag: Down on the Farm (PG; 121 minutes)

Brought to you by the same production company that brought you Salsa Sissies: The Call of the Mild, Ag is a coming-of-age biopic that follows the lives of two high-school boys. Jim (Danny Garcia) must overcome an ever-discouraging ag teacher (Woody Harrelson) to achieve his dreams of conquering the inherent limitations of animal husbandry. Tweeter (Zac Efron) must overpower the caustic memory of his father's deadly machinery accident to cultivate the largest Mongkut Hybrid cucumbers grown in the Western world. Soon, the two young men find that their challenges and goals aren't that different. Though initally criticized as a "rip-off" of last year's 4H, Ang Lee directs a tale that is both crude and heartwarming.

Strongly implied drug use, cartoonish violence, adult situations.
