I'm willing to give any film a chance, I mean... You know, you just got to. But what in God(ard)'s name was I thinking about when I decided to watch this?!
After less than 4 minutes into it, this movie already bored the shit out of me. By the 11-minute mark I was thinking of smashing my whisky glass on my coffee table and eating the shards, just to do something more enjoyable.

This is a film for, and possibly by, college weed-smokers. Morons wearing baseball caps sideways, wearing super baggy shorts and covering their mouths with their fists everytime they find something funny, going: 'Ohhhh, snap!'
So, yeah: If you're a pothead fratboy with an IQ of 10, you will love this film.
If, on the other hand, you are more intelligent that an amoeba, you will want to throw something heavy at your screen... All the clichés are there. It even has 'Because I got High' (or whatever the actual name of the song is, I can't be bothered to google it) as the first song of the film. I guess the film guys were too stoned to realize that it's actually a pretty anti-getting-stoned song. Later on, I know you're not gonna believe me but...
There are Snoop Dogg songs. So unexpected!

But I can picture fratboys everywhere giggling as they're watching this film, firing up their bongs before gobbling up some more Cheetos.

Once upon a time, introducing characters with a freeze frame and showing their names on the screen was totally cool. But now? It's just another cliché. Anyway, who needs to remember the names? You have Black Stoner 1, Black Stoner 2, White Stoner 1 and Hispanic Stoner 1. And then all the Stoner Extras. And the booty, of course (not complaining about that. Really, really nice booties they are. Indeed: They're Bootylicious!). Because the quote-unquote audience's gotta go: 'Daaamn, she's fiiine! Ohhhh! Snap! He's smoking again, dawg!'

At this point, because we live in a hypocritical society that pretends to not tolerate hyper-critcism, let me add that my 'dawgs' and 'snaps' comments are not KKK propaganda (despite my somewhat unfortunate initials). The people I picture saying these things are Fred Durst-like morons. Guys who come from Manhattan Beach, or indeed Manhattan, and act like they come from Compton or Harlem. I personally find this way more offensive than anything else. But maybe that's just me.

Anyway, back to this magnificient motion picture...
The dialogue is so sub-par that I suspect some intern who's never smoked or seen weed in his life was asked to write it while the crew were getting high. Then, because they were so high, they didn't realize how bad the dialogue was and so they just went with it.
It could also be that they have no acting talent whatsover. But who cares? They smoke weed! On screen! 'Ooooh, snap!' On top of that, they take toilet humor to a whole new level: the literal one. A character named 'Big Shit' clogs toilets with shit. 'Snap! Let's spark up!'
And there's a Hispanic (well, Mexican, really) gangster called Dirty Sanchez. This shit (literally) is hilarious, dawg!

There are SNL skits that looked more realistic and that were better acted than this.
And 'the hood?' It looked a lot like Westwood to me. But that's understandable. Had they tried to film this piece of shit (literally) in the actual 'hood' (if there is such a thing anymore), the whole cast and crew would have been shot on sight. And rightly so. I know this was actually a very racist comment, because you've probably inferred from my statement that all people from 'the hood' have guns. Well, no. I'm just saying all people from the US have guns. And the people from 'the hood' would have a motive as well as reasonable cause.

You know how bad this got for me? It got so bad that I sometimes caught myself wishing I were watching 'Titanic' instead. That's just wrong.

Fair enough: I am obviously and absolutely not the target audience for this. Because I have a brain, or at least I like to think so (because no matter how much brain I have, it still tells me that I do have enough brain... Are you following this?).
If you're an 18-year-old college stoner and you think you're so 'gangsta' because you dress just like MTV told you to, and you think you're a total rebel because you spark up a spliff every day, then this film is for you.

I realize I sound elitist, but you know what? I'm old enough to say I truly don't give a shit if I come off as being elitist. I'm saying people who like this kind of films are morons. I'm not saying I'm smart. I'm just saying I'm smarter than the people who have enjoyed this film. You should also know that some parts of the 'Harold & Kumar' films made me laugh, so I am not above 'stoner humor.' But this film? Nope. Couldn't even crack a smile. Sure, I wasn't high, but I wasn't sober either (because why should I be?).

And if there are people who bought the DVD because they just had to watch it again, then shit... I think euthanasia is in order. The DVDs should be booby-trapped (Ooooh! Snap! He said 'booby!')
so that whoever buys this would/should die. That would make the world a better place. Plus there'd be a sudden surplus of weed for us all to enjoy as we watched 'The Big Lebowski' for the hundreth time.

Best thing about this film? It's only 76 minutes long. Worst thing about it? These are 76 minutes of my life I'll never get back.

How the fuck was a film like that greenlit in the first place?! Well... We live in a world where Tyler Perry exists and where 'Vertigo' is deemed better than 'Citizen Kane.' Really? 'Vertigo?' I like it all right and I'm happy for Boileau-Narcejac (yeah, just like everybody else, I'm sure), but better than 'Psycho,' 'Rear Window,' 'North by Northwest?' Really?!

Fuck that shit. I'm getting high, dawg!

Oh, snap! Let's play some Dirty South Bass!
