Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5.85/10 --
Initially engaging, witty and charming, but ultimately ends up contrived and bland with an unfocused, half-baked plot.

NYC Movie Guru
Rating: 2/5 --
Both Project Greenlight runners-up, directors Michael Aimette and John G. Hofmann get the teen angst and Gaelic aesthetic right; too bad their third-act thuggery isn't just routine, but ridiculous.

Rating: 2.5/5 --
suffers from a strangely lazy narrative and a bizarre waste of notable actors

Rating: 3.5/5 --
With the help of first-time performer Donal Gallery, this mix of gangster drama and quirky comedy boasts a modest charm that should appeal to young men around same age as the 16 year old lead character, despite a lack of focus and familiar twists.

Boxoffice Magazine
3 stars out of 5 -- As James, Gallery is funny and believable without trying too hard to be charming, and he plays well off of everyone in the movie...
Box Office
Turning Green is, if nothing else, the world's loneliest teen sex comedy.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
It's clear that Mr. Hutton enjoyed every minute of doing gruff, gross thugishness and boorish simplicity.

Product Description:
Normally, Americans in Ireland are awed by their verdant surroundings, but not teenage James (Donal Gallery). It’s 1979, and he has been stuck in a small town for six years, dying to get out and back to his native country. James's unusual scheme involves trips to London (sanctioned by his adopted family and for sound medical reasons, of course) where he can buy porn to sell in Ireland, where it is illegal. This quirky comedy stars Timothy Hutton, Alessandro Nivola, and Colm Meaney.
