    "You guys are the biggest fuck-ups in the history of dope dealing. That's a huge fuckin' statement."

    I loved this, it was fun to watch and a seriously entertaining and funny movie! The tag-line 'A comedy that goes to your head.', I sure agree with. This had an A-list cast, an ...( read more)original and hilarious plot, plus some very funny quotes and moments I definitely won't forget. This was sure worth seeing, and I'd be up for a second viewing!!

    The story circles at first around three guys, Jack, Carter and Harlan. They are working on their boss' marijuana plantation in northern California, until they find Malcolm dead, murdered. It was only the three of them there, so they decided to keep it quiet for a while and try to take over the business themselves.. without anyone else knowing Malcolm was dead. But this proves to be more difficult than they thought, as they find themselves dealing with some of the most dangerous people around, being wanted dead, and owing millions of dollars. But that's only some of the complications that arise when the trio start to take things into their own hands...

    What a cast! So many faces I recognised in this flick.. too many to name. Again for me Billy Bob Thornton was funny as always, a great performance from him. I loved Ryan Phillippe's character, he was so clueless and funny.. he was perfect. Hank Azaria was also hilarious, making the trio a great mixture of actors. John Lithgow was also in this, not a significant role, but he was still quite good. Kelly Lynch was mediocre.. I didn't partially like her. Jon Bon Jovi I really liked in this movie, heck.. he can sing and act!

    This was a great watch, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a great way to spend the duration of this movie in stitches from laughing so hard. A great comedy that everyone should enjoy!

    I found this very disappointing, but I imagine I would have found it moreso if I had gone in expecting anything. It was funny, but not as funny as it could have been. There was too much hang time between laughs, and too much character and not enough plot. It seemed such a shame t...( read more)hat they killed John Lithgow's character right at the beginning, and I wish they hadn't muddled the story with drug paranoia. Although the ending was good. This movie isn't too bad, but far from special.

    I cool marijuana mystery/thriller. Billy Bob rocks and, as I recall, John Lithgow is an awwesome bad guy!

    One of the worst films ever made. There's nothing clever or funny about any of the situations, and the performances are all put to waste. The last scene is utterly painful and misdirected on all accounts, which is just a well placed mirror to summarize the rest of this crap fest....( read more) Big cast, little brain.
    This film makes Tommy Chong look like a genius in the stoner film market.

    When growing marjiana is a multi-million dollar business, you bury your murdered boss, pose as him and collect the profit - until your caught by police and loose everything...
  • March 24, 2009
    One would expect a great thriller after the first scene but the truth is different. Too much humour makes the movie worthless. Of course smoking pot makes one laugh (like the very last scene in the movie) but if the movie starts with a cold kill and after that the protagonists es...( read more)cape murderous scenes in unbelievable ways and nobody dies... I am asking myself what the hell I am watching.
