Vague plot: Stoner witnesses murder, runs and hides at his dealer's place,
causing them both to go on the run. They attempt to evade their pursuers, the
pursuers attempt to catch them, both sides amusingly hampered by their own
ineptitude.
It's actually pretty funny. In a way, I'd say it was a cross between your
classic Cheech and Chong movie and a Coen brothers film like Fargo. In that
it's rather funnier and classier. Some great oddball performances, and a
realisation that merely getting stoned and fucking things up isn't funny in and
of itself, and a good script helps too. If you're making a film for stoners,
it's easy to be lazy, because they'll laugh at anything. This is a rather
cleverer thing.
It gets progressively wild and woolly towards the end, with a really violent
slapstick finale which is possibly over the top, but pretty hilarious for all
that.
