Brad Dourif, Chris Messina, Danny Jacobs

Located on the far North Coast of California and on the margins of society is a region nicknamed "The Lost Coast" but geographically known as Humboldt County. It is there, amongst the state's breathta...( read more  read more... )king Redwood forests that marijuana farmers co-exist peacefully within the rural community. It is there that Peter Hadley, a promising but tightly-wound UCLA med student, finds himself stranded when he's deposited at the multi-generational family home of the free-spirited Bogart, following a drunken one-night stand. Frustrated and disillusioned with his life after his professor/father fails him on an important exam, the unworldly Peter at first rejects the welcoming yet eccentric pot-smoking strangers, along with their eclectic group of friends and fellow farmers, but soon allows himself to be embraced by their ideals and begins to see life a bit clearer: despite the smoke.

    Takes me back to high school days, hanging out with grown adults who give pot to kids. Brad Dourif is my hero.

    A pleasant dramedy about a medical student and the pot farmers who manage to shake him out of his ennui.

    A quirkly little film about self-discovery. Yeah there is a bunch of pot farming and smoking, and most of that is amusing. But the heart of the film is about making choices in life and not being afraid of the consequences. Beautifully shot in northern California.

    Emotional and touching. A wonderful tale of self discovery set in a place I have longed to visit, see, and experience for myself. The world needs more movies like this.

    Nerdy resident intern learns his instructor-father is going to flunk him out of his residency, overwrought, he hitches a ride with a free spirit and ends up in a commune of pot growers. Some funny moments but not enough to recommend. C-

    I loved this movie. It was so personal and deeply touching. People need to wake up and rethink what they consider important in life.
