To my surprise, freaking hilarious!!

Rating: 9/10 (23 February 2009)

I went into this thing with extremely low expectations. In fact, when I heard about it I thought it would be a sort of retarded "Grandma's Boy" type movie that completely sucked. In general, I am NOT a fan of 'pothead movies' or really of Seth Rogen.
That being said, I nearly peed my pants laughing. It completely took me by surprise! This movie is a complete ridiculous parody (but not by too much lol) of hardcore potheads, and that is really the only way that the movie gets away with it, because the fact of the matter is that most of the movie is comprised of 'nothing.' It is basically one long hilarious random disaster after another that only people as idiotically stoned as these two could find themselves in, and unlike most movies like this it pulls it off really really well! James Franco's performance as the pot-dealer devoted to his "Bubbe" grandma is probably my favorite of his career; he is so ridiculously funny and he plays his part with such hilarious charm (despite his constant stoned condition).
Give this movie a chance! Go into this thing expecting just flat out zany laughs, don't go if you're looking for a movie with a tight, intense plot and a life lesson or anything. The biggest downside for me was the constant f-bombs but honestly it wasn't enough to ruin this movie. Two thumbs up!
