Waste of time

The Age of Commercialism

Absolutely Fantastic

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

At first I was rather skeptical about watching this one, but oh no, I am so glad that I did, I really enjoyed this movie, has a good story line and well filmed. Interesting story, based on a true story. Was slightly skeptical about watching this one after reading a couple of the previous reviews but I am glad that I did, it certainly made for an entertaining watch. I'm a regular marijuana user so naturally I enjoyed the heavy theme of marijuana - though I do think this would be a good watch for someone who's never touched it, good cinematography and story, give it a watch, glad that I did. A couple of the scenes did feel somewhat lacking and you could tell that the makers did not have a large budget to play with - though nonetheless they pulled it off well. Definitely recommend.

Good stoner movie must watch really for any stoner..As said in other reviews its like Wolf of Wall Street the way the story is told some good actors in this that I would like to see in more movies..There's lots of really good information that needs to be shared so if anybody is reading this and have movie nights with non smokers please try and get this on the to-watch list because it could sway there minds and just understand how much tax is wasted on such a wide spread item.I really didn't like the writing at the end were it tells you about everything you need to be ready on the pause button to read it all it goes so fast.

I originally played this movie late at night so that I could fall asleep to it. However, once the beginning credits started to play, I could not keep my eyes off the screen as my attention was caught early and stayed strong all the way through. It shows the meteoric rise of a 18 year old high school drop out to a massive drug hauling king pin.I realize that some people will be quick to pass up this movie as some 'stoner flick' not worth watching but there is so much more to this movie than meets the eye. The film has a little bit of everything including strong dialogue, relatable characters, and quite a few laughs in between. The characters are believable and likable and all parts are played satisfactorily. The ending wrapped everything up nicely and answered all questions that have been in viewers' minds while watching.Overall, solid movie indeed. It may not have the most depth in terms of story, but nonetheless it was a very entertaining movie. 7/10

'KID CANNABIS': Three and a Half Stars (Out of Five) Crime drama/comedy flick about a high school dropout who becomes a multimillion-dollar drug lord when he and his friend start trafficking marijuana, from Canada into Idaho. It's based on the true story of Nate Norman, played in the film by Jonathan Daniel Brown (of 'PROJECT X' fame). It costars Kenny Wormald, Aaron Yoo, Amanda Tapping, Ron Perlman and John C. McGinley. The movie was written and directed by John Stockwell and it's based on articles by Mark Binelli and Kevin Taylor. I was surprised to find out the film is not a joke; it actually takes the subject matter seriously and depicts it in a, somewhat, realistic way. It's also funny at times.Nate Norman (Brown) was an overweight 18-year-old high school dropout, who lived in Coeur D'Alene, Idaho with his mother (Tapping) and kid brother (Mark Hills). He delivered pizzas, not only to support him but his family as well, and loved getting high with his 27-year-old friend Topher (Wormald). One day, while delivering pizzas, he comes up with the idea of smuggling drugs from Canada; by running them through the woods across the border. He asks Topher to partner with him, on his plan, and when the two start making a lot of money, he enlists the help of their other friends as well. Things go really well for the guys until greed and rival drug dealers become a huge problem.The movie is marketed as a teen sex comedy flick (with a lot of drug use as well). It definitely has a lot of sex, nudity and drug use but it's not a slapstick comedy in any way. There's humor frequently but for the most part it's a pretty serious attempt to depict what life was like for these two, very young, drug dealers. It's raunchy but also brutally violent and suspenseful at times. I found it involving and informative and I like how they didn't make Nate or Topher out to be heroes. Sure they're likable guys, who meant well and didn't really do anything wrong, but they were also greedy and selfish too. The performances are all good and Stockwell does a decent job writing and directing (he's directed other cool B movies like 'BLUE CRUSH' and 'IN THE BLOOD'). I enjoyed this movie and think it's definitely worth a watch.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: youtu.be/3AK4roDokJo
