Um, okay so it starts out quite strong like it actually has some story. That was my first mistake; thinking that this movie has a story. Well, it sort of does have two strands of stories but that's about it. I'm not quite sure what the hell it is; and after watching you are feeling like 'well that was some good two hours spent looking for something and found nothing.' I guess, if I'm high like one of the characters, this might-just might-make some sense. Some of the jokes were funny, but they were few and far in between. My Rating: 6.5
