A gem of a stoner movie, July 30, 2005
This little gem of a stoner movie had me rolling on the floor, literally. In the vein of Liquid Sky, Pot Luck, and Half Baked, it tells the story of 5 guys who are out to make a profit following a "treasure map" to a secret government forest of marijuana, left to them (the map, not the weed) by their parents. Also showing his face in this little ditty is veteran actor Rip Torn, playing an ex agricultural government agent who has prefected the art of growing sensimilia. On their journeys, the 5 boys have lots of misadventures before finding the "magic forest of marijuana." One of the guys is a parapalegic, one has narcolepsy, one is a nerd, and one (Kevin) turned out to be gay.
I wouldnt recommend this film if you are looking for oscar winning performances by talented actors. I would suggest this if you are a fan of Kevin Smith films (the early ones). Dont buy this film, rent it, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you see strippers, and LOTS of pot!

A Stoner/Drug Movie For Non-Stoners, August 23, 2004
What a delight. I saw parts of it on Comedy Central and laughed very hard, and then purchased the DVD and was able to enjoy a very silly little movie that will make you laugh. If you enjoyed Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket, then this movie is for you. Cameos: Kevin Pollack and Thomas Haden Church (director) play DEA agents with a confused bad cop/crazy cop schtick that's very amusing. Thomas Haden Church also plays a state trooper in an earlier scene, as well. And finally, Rip Torn as an old man named "Oldman" adds some tenderness to the film. At the very least, rent this. What do you have to lose? 4 bucks and 2 hours? I highly recommend this DVD. Be warned, there are no special features to speak of and no subtitles, without those, I give this a four and a half. Enjoy!

i think its LOVE, June 4, 2004
I saw this movie last summer at the Miami film festival with my family, and none of us could stop laughing. Granted, the plot is a little fuzzy, and there really is little point to the movie, but its just hilarious. Its one of those movies that you cant help but quote, constantly. I cant wait to buy it so I am no longer the only one of my friends who knows what I'm talking about.
