Written by Ronnie Warner & Kent George
Directed by Mekhi Phifer
Two stoners, Rico (Ronnie Warner) and Larry (Danny Masterson) realize they haven't paid their rent, and their landlord is pissed. The two hapless morons don't attempt to get jobs, instead they try to figure out a way to watch the Shawshank Redemption marathon that's on TV, if only to see if Rico is right, if Andy actually was raped or not.
They wander through the day, trying to find money, or a TV, whichever suits their needs best at the moment, smoking weed the entire time, floating through life listlessly. This isn't a sophisticated movie, it doesn't even attempt to be anything more than what it knows it is.
With that said, it has its moments, there are laughs here and there for stoners, and fans of Shawshank Redemption alike. There's even some good jokes here for people that only watch movies on TBS and TNT. It's not particularly well made, although the technical aspects are more than passable, what I was most impressed with is the attitude of the people involved, and how they all seemed highly motivated to want to make this film. Not great, but good for those of us that just want to get stoned and watch a stupid movie.
6.3/10
