Review

Johnny Knoxville plays the eponymous Daltry Calhoun (2005) in Katrina Holden Bronson’s whimsical pet project about a turf tycoon who experiences an unlikely reunion with his preternaturally gifted daughter. At home in Ducktown, Tennessee, Daltry is making money hand over fist by supplying top-quality sod to golf courses. His business acumen is unfortunately more refined than his child-rearing sense, however, as Calhoun experiences a rocky time trying to win over his long-absent, musically gifted daughter (Sophie Traub). Co-produced by Quentin Tarantino, Bronson’s film is a quirky small-town character study that gets its biggest jolt of juice when Juliette Lewis arrives on the scene in bra and stilettos to spice up the proceedings by straddling a motorcycle.
