It's just like Harold and Kumar go to White Castle but without a plot and not funny

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2008)

The trailers are really, really funny. Too bad they couldn't get whoever put the trailer together to direct the film. It's like they took the plot of Harold and Kumar, changed the names, threw in a chase scene, a love scene and a "I'm going to kill you" scene or two and tried to duct tape it together. Duct tape can be used for many things but not even duct tape could help this movie.
Someone did their homework and put together all the elements of a successful movie: A fat guy, a thin guy, a black-haired guy, a blonde-guy, love interest, a few minorities, drugs, awkward scene where the leads kind of get a little gay (subconsciously,) car chases, violence, the mob. However, this film should be on the unemployment line as it just doesn't work.
Very predictable plot, what there is of it. A few one-liners that are funny and crooks that are just too namby-pamby to be taken seriously. It's a comedy but the villains should have watched a movie or taken an acting lesson on how to be the bad guys. It's billed as a comedy but it's more of a disaster film.
This is like one of Jim Carrey's movies where all the funny moments can be packaged into the trailer. The only bright spot in this film is that Jim Carrey and his badly capped teeth isn't in this picture.
I don't smoke so maybe it would have been better watching if one is high but I don't even think being wasted is going to help this film. The pseudo-gay scene where they're tied up is much more funny in the trailer than in the movie. In fact, everything in the trailer points to a really great movie but somehow it just doesn't work.
