An unpolished gem

Rating: 7/10 (14 September 2008)

Working as a court-order deliverer, Dale Denton is a marijuana addict and boyfriend of an attractive high school student. He unwittingly becomes witness to a murder by the police and gets caught up in a major war. Now, he must disentangle himself while trying to keep or build all the relationships he values most.
The plot itself deal with many serious issues and was definitely darker and more complex than many other part comedy movies, but the amount of comedy was not as heavy as in some other movies and somewhat detracts from the nail-biting moments of suspense.
Sean Rogen plays Denton well, and most of the other actors were pretty good. Denton's high school girlfriend, though drop-dead attractive, probably was the worst in terms of acting. After a strong start, the movie does drag on a bit, and leaves a major subplot unresolved at the end, making it seem as if the movie was rushed in production. Most of the funny moments were also not humorous, and realism was not something to be found in this movie. If more time was spent editing out a few things, this movie could become a classic, but instead, it is just merely worth watching.
