I’ve been wanting to see this for awhile to find out why it was so popular. The main characters aren’t believable stoners, and they don’t play morons very well.

Nicole and I saw this the day that the Academy Awards happened. I’m glad that the trailers I saw didn’t show too much since I wasn’t expecting it to go in that direction at all. I don’t entirely agree with others about the Morgan Freeman role being completely unnecessary. He had to be there as […]
