Hysterical

Rating: 7/10 (5 December 2013)

I waited for this to rent. I'm 55 and supposedly "grown up". This is one funny movie! Since I retired, I do things the old fashioned way and went to a video store and rented this as nothing seemed to catch my interest. Good thing! This was hysterical! And to top it off, warm and touching at times. Jennifer is gorgeous, dances like a professional stripper and has the body for it- Man, does she. Then Jason. Wow, what a funny guy. I like him very much in most of his latest movies but, this one takes the cake. He starts out as a small time pot dealer and ends the journey a much more open and honest gentleman as opposed to the immature, selfish and drug-dealing "kid" he was. His "daughter" is a homeless, street wise, child of the 21st Century- free spirited, irresponsible, lonely, and angry. His "Son" is a nerdy, virginal kid with problems at home- the same apartment complex Jason's character lives in. Jason's character gets ripped off by thugs and he now owes his supplier. His only option is to go to Mexico and along with his new "family"- they set out on a funny and dangerous mission- to smuggle "enough Marijuana to kill Willie Nelson". A little profanity, a little sexual stimulation by Jenn's dancing, and few other "adult situations". Not for the whole family but, certainly for those with a funny bone and open-minded enough to see this without political argument- it's a movie after all. Rated R for language mostly and violence in the sense they had to shoot it out with drug dealers along the way. Great weekend movie, bad weather movie or just great for watching comedy without too much sex, violence, or ugliness.
