I'm willing to bet that the concept of this film (baked guy growing mass quantities of pot in some random rainforest in California) has generated a good deal of impulse renting from college students and people who wear a lot of political buttons. At the same time, I'm willing to bet double that each and every one of these unfortunates has been disappointed and possibly scarred for life by this cult film, unless they were too stoned to notice. There is no coherent plot, the characters are flat, I can't imagine anyone caring whether this guy gets busted or not, and the meta-ending is a joke. There is one redeeming scene, however bizarre, involving a two-hundred foot waterfall and a saxophone player in a tree, but aside from that, I wouldn't waste my two-fifty for the rental. Perhaps the most heart-wrenching portion of the film is when the viewer realizes that stoners really can't do anything with their lives. I cried for weeks. DON'T RENT THIS MOVIE IF YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOOD FOR YA!!!!

PIST-OFF14 August 1999Yes. I too was fooled by the big pot leaf cover of this movie, yes I rented it, yes it was bad. Really bad, the dialogue stops making sense about the same time it takes to get really baked. Is that by design? The only positive side to this movie is an unintentional moment of hilarity, when the one guy takes a hit, coughs his brains out, and then in a hacked out voice says "smooth" refering to the pot that just made him cough out a lung. Either this is intentional or it shows just how little the makers of this film actually know about the wacky tobaccy.
