Plot:
Henry Burke (Bush) is an all A student on track to be class valedictorian until he rekindles an old friendship with the high school stoner Travis Breaux (Marquette). The two sit around kicking it about the old days and smoking marijuana not knowing that the principal played by Michael Chiklis is holding an all out drug testing to expel any students that test positive for drug usage so that his school will maintain prestige status. With his chance of class valedictorian at stake the two boys figure the only way to not get caught is to rob local drug dealer Psycho Ed (Brody) of his most potent marijuana and lace the brownies at the school bake sale so that everyone will test positive. But what they didn’t expect is that it would turn the entire school into a zoo of pandemonium.
Reel Talk:
In this watered down version of all the stoner movies before it, the jokes just like the film is dated. The film which is really 2 years past its original release period might have worked 2 years ago. Not the funniest movie but good for a few laughs, but the real problem is the timing. With all the issues about our youth, K2 and Spice (manufactured marijuana), is this the proper movie to present to our youth now, making it seem that to get high is cool? Just not a good look at this point in time, they could and should have kept this one on the shelf and I understand that this is just a paycheck movie for Chiklis, Brody and even Colin Hanks because definitely no awards will be handed out for this one. This movie gets the wait til cable nod from me.
