    The least surprising bit of movie trivia is that they smoked real weed in the making of this.

    Saw it in the theater, and it was a good crowd, so that has to count for something. I don't smoke weed, so I don't know how this got on my watchlist. But yeah, LOTS of cameos. Vegan alerts: -A horse dies after a guy feeds it junk food. -A dog dies. -People try to get…

    There is only 1 reason to watch this movie, and you already know what it is. That being said, it’s the perfect length. I believe it comes in at about 1:30 which is about my attention span when… well ya know.

The humor in this movie is basically anthropological notes on doper culture and behavior: junk-food frenzies, smoking rituals and hardware, non sequitur conversation, and short-term memory loss. In other words, stuff that passed into the realm of clich#233; back in the time of the Johnson administration.
