Humboldt County

Brad Dourif, Chris Messina, Danny Jacobs, Darren Grodsky, Elayn Taylor

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.

    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-
