A gem of a stoner movie

"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

"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

"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."

They should rename Kansas the weed state

"this is about a group of friends who go on this journey to the state of Kansas where they are on a quest to find the world's largest magical forest of weed and when they get there they are gonna bring it all back home and distribute it to the world but their plans go hay wire and they have to stash it away in a field. soon when they come back it is gone but then they get an idea and make t-shirts of the map they have. it's a brainless comedy though there are tons of great one liners and some funny situations. Directed by none other then Thomas Haden Church (Tv's Wings, Sideways). Church plays two parts, one being a border patrol cheif and the other being a FBI Agent alongside a amusing cameo by Kevin Pollack (The Usual Suspects, The Whole Nine Yards, The Whole Ten Yards). Also starring Jay Paulson, Sam Hutchinson who plays paralyzed from the waist down Dick and Rip Torn (Men In Black 1 and 2, Freddy Got Fingered). Torn plays Old Man and he lives in a tree on the side of a road. Best character in this movie is the kid, Kevin, who has a brain the size of a peanut who just sprouts out stuff with no reason.
