Quotes:

Brevin: [at the dentist] I kind of like it. I mean, it's not like I'm a masochist or anything, it's just.. Well, in a way, it makes me feel like, "Yeah.. my teeth are being taken care of." You know? It makes me feel... prosperous.

Pot helps!

Extremely delighted by the film! Stoner movies have always been categorized in a different way as regular movies. It's not something serious that you would watch to learn a valuable lesson or to experience an unearthly ascension. The movie is just pure fun. The plot is rather easy to understand. The lack of complexity makes it a pleasant experience for everyone who would appreciate the humor in drug use. Anna Faris describes the condition of a high person more accurate than expected. I liked the sound effects that can be heard now and then according to the situation or what the protagonist is thinking.

Don't miss it only because it's an independent movie.
