A Tennessee sod tycoon (Johnny Knoxville) tries to save his business while learning how to be a father to his estranged teenage daughter.

Critics Consensus

Watching grass grow would likely be more entertaining than this dull, slight feature about a sod salesman.

The movie has its flaws, but they are few and forgivable.

Southern whimsy, when handled delicately, can produce a precious jewel a la Junebug. In less skillful hands, it can be merely precious.

2/4

Knoxville tries hard and exudes a certain likability, but can't really handle big dramatic moments at this point in his career.

It'd be nice if Tarantino would go back to making his own films (which are usually pretty doggoned good) rather than helping out young filmmakers to produce garbage.

4/10

For all its good intentions, Daltry Calhoun is a predictable, derivative film.

2/4

Contains a couple of lovely scenes that are all but smothered by a shambling mess of self-conscious eccentricity.

Daltry Calhoun is the story of a family from the perspective of a 14 year old girl. This movie is quite boring, and I struggled to get through this fil,. The narration was boring, I did not care about any of the characters, and just waited for this point of this movie to come about. It never did.
