Home Fries stars Drew Barrymore as a pregnant woman who works at a fast food restaurant.  The man who made her pregnant appears at the drive by window one night, and he and Drew's character get into a fight because Drew wants the guy to be a father for the baby.  Instead, the guy drives off.  It turns out he has a wife of his own and wants nothing to do with the girl he made pregnant.

Well, while the guy is driving back to his house, a couple guys in a helicopter decide they want to toy with the guy, and make him scared.  Unfortunately, the helicopter incident makes the guy TOO scared, and the next day the police encounter the guy sitting in the middle of nowhere dead from a heart attack.

The storyline from here is that the two guys in the helicopter do everything in their power to make sure they aren't busted for the murder.

Unfortunuately for the two helicopter pranksters, they retrace their steps a little TOO much to the point one of the guys actually works at the same fast food restaurant as Drew Barrymore's character.  Eventually the guy falls in love with Drew and well... I guess NOW is a good time to mention Home Fries is mostly definitely a comedy, haha.

The biggest problem with Home Fries is that the film is funny in a "What kind of outrageous plot twist will happen next?" kind of way.  The writers who came up with such a storyline did an *amazing* job making it sophisticated and intelligent, and they deserve a ton of credit for that.

As far as actual laughs go, well you'll be laughing plenty of times, but the storyline also has some dry spells once in a while as well, which is why I can't give it a perfect 5 star rating.

It's mostly a film that's worth watching for the brilliant storyline.
