Childish, violent, and not very funny - (but I may have watched the extended version)

Rating: 5/10 (3 April 2011)

I was hoping for something that would give me a few laughs but I just didn't get this one. It had all the right ingredients for an awesome "doobie-movie" - Seth and Franco are funny just to look at, and the plot of a stoner witnessing a crime seems like a solid starting point. Unfortunately, the story suffers from a lot of unrefined dialog - conversations which are supposed to make you laugh but end up coming off as bizarre or immature. I was also disappointed with the use of violence/gore and the filmmakers intent to turn this into laughs. Isn't this the drug of peace and love brother? Violent fights (and bloody gunfights)- even if they are done in a quirky, slapstick way -just don't push my laugh button. "Ha Ha, that was so funny how he got killed" *Minor disappointment: I kept waiting to hear Paper Planes by MIA (I heard it in the preview) but I never heard it in the movie.
Caveat: I may have watched the extended version.
