An unemployed pot-smoking slacker and amateur drummer, Anthony Stoner ditches his strict parents and hits the road, eventually meeting kindred spirit Pedro de Pacas. While the drug-ingesting duo is soon arrested for possession of marijuana, Anthony and Pedro get released on a technicality, allowing them to continue their many misadventures and ultimately compete in a rock band contest, where they perform the raucous tune "Earache My Eye."

There’s a lot of weed and naughty language. This is top tier cult classic stoner comedy though. I don’t usually partake in the devils lettuce anymore, but watching it sober still held up for me.

This film is fun, some jokes landed really well while many where just fine. As someone who dosen't smoke and isn't really into stoner culture I still thought this movie had a decent story and was just dumb fun.
3 out of 5 stars
