    A freewheeling offshoot of the good indie Smoke

    "Smoke" follow-up lacks the first flick's spark and humor.

  • Larry Carroll, Countingdown.com

    Parts are fun, but unscripted actors can only take things so far.

  • Sarah P


    The humor in the movie was mostly subtle which worked really well. I honestly just bought the movie because Madonna makes a 2-minute appearance, but I actually liked it a lot!
