When the husbands are introduced, their outfits match their wives. In the opening scene, Jill is wearing all pink and Lisa all blue. In addition to featuring highly stylized cinematography, the film’s costume designer Lauren Oppelt created the main characters’ clothing to highlight the subtle shifts between the two families. By the end of the film, Lisa has all but replaced Jill: she lives in her house, still has her baby, is wearing her clothes, her son is in the accelerated math program that Jill’s son was in, and Jill’s husband Nick (Beck Bennett) lives with Lisa and her husband Dennis (Neil Casey) as their pool boy. Jill starts off in a much larger house than Lisa and is more of a societal alpha. The two women’s identities and social standings begin to blur from that point on. After mentioning that she “loves her” the way we all say that we love cute children or pets that aren’t our own, Jill, not wanting to offend Lisa, offers to give Lisa the baby to keep, and Lisa, not wanting to offend Jill (and also maybe a little jealous of Jill), accepts the baby as her own. One day while watching their sons play soccer, Lisa nonchalantly notices that Jill has a new baby. Jill and Lisa are both married, but their husbands are so bland and nondescript that at one point they don’t even realize that they’re making out with the wrong spouses.
Greener Grass is primarily about the lives of two suburban women, Jill and Lisa (Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe, the film’s directors). But while Blue Velvet explores the menace that lies underneath the surface of suburbia, Greener Grass uses surreal humor to show just how absurd the suburban environment-and the internal politics that govern the behavior of its citizens-truly is.
