I‘m pretty sure I saw stills of Adrien Brody dressed as a ridiculous drug “lord” for this movie about a million years ago. So no idea how long this film has been being worked on or how long it’s sat on a shelf or what, but I gotta be honest: outside of The Brody hamming it up, this looks pretty awful and uninspired (yes I seem to be using that term a lot more these days). So it’s kids doing pot in school and at some point the teachers and authority figures get in on it by accident. Ha ha.
The trailer is worth checking out though because at the halfway point Brody appears. And that’s even probably enough to get to me to actually purchase a ticket for this thing. I’m not in college anymore, so this type of humor has worn thin. But hey, 21 Jump Street was a pretty big success (both critically and personally), so who knows; this might turn out to be something new and interesting within the sub-genre… though I kinda doubt it. But holy shit, is that Michael Chiklis?
I remember this film was in the Toronto After Dark 2010 line-up
Well I’ll be damned. We already have a review for this film.
I won’t discount the crowd factor which definitely helps any movie but it played really well. In fact well enough that I programmed it for the first year of Dark Bridges. It was pretty damn fun and I feel smarter than it looks.
