    Hilarious.

    A slaphappy, slapdash type of affair familiar to fans of Cheech & Chong and Pauly Shore. It's your basic object lesson in why marijuana is called dope.

    One of the freshest, nastiest comedies to come around in quite some time.

    Sporadically funny... occasionally very funny.

    After its midway mark, just lumbers until it fizzles out.

    All the new plot stuff is way old hat, as though straight from a textbook chapter called "Conflict Drives Your Narrative!" And at times the motivations are either unclear or senseless.

    But most of the humor is about as fresh as the air left behind whenever Witherspoon uses a toilet.

    Almost comes as a breath of fresh air. Too bad it's so foul.

    A calculated teen gross-out flick that owes more to "American Pie" than its own progenitor.

    One-beat humor that is worsened by poor writing and editing.
