Everybody loved this movie. This was one of the first “stoner” movies I can remember that got positive reviews from mainstream critics. My question is… Why? It was okay. The story was interesting enough, but again my question is why the universal praise for just an okay movie? Many comedy movies suffer because the acting is sub-par. Aside from Rosie Perez and her general suckiness everyone in this movie can actually act. Franco’s Golden Globe nomination was well deserved. But, aside from Danny McBride it just wasn’t that funny. It was more of a buddy action movie that just never hit its stride. I will have to admit that I mine expectations were probably overly high due to all the positive reviews, but even still I just didn’t think it was worth all the love. Bottom line is it’s a fun movie. It’s good enough, but if you’re feenin’ for something from the Apatow collection go back and watch Sarah Marshall or 40 Year Old Virgin again.
