About
You’ll probably enjoy this wild late-night buddy comedy if you like classic stoner-farce energy and nonstop misadventures like Pineapple Express and Up in Smoke; Not for you if you dislike gross-out or drug-focused humor.
Pros: lots of laughs; strong buddy chemistry; memorable mishaps | Cons: crude humor; dated/uneven feel; some offensive jokes
