R-Rated Afterschool Special

Rating: 1/10 (13 April 2006)

Hollywood's gratuitous attempt at an anti-drug message showcases an array of characters (you're bound to relate to one of them) in a this-is-your-brain, this-is-your-brain-on-drugs kind of way.
You watch it and think, hey if I was and so-and-so, my-brain-not-on-drugs was the way to go!
However, if you have any remote sense of logic, then you don't actually have to endure the film to figure that out.
There's a gritty, depersonalizing element to the film which adds style and extreme worst-case-scenario scares, but overall, it's got that afterschool special obviousness - drugs are bad!
When it's over, you expect the guy with the eggs and frying pan to lurch out and say, "Any questions?"
