    As loose and playful as major studio movies get.

    It's a quality movie even if the material is unworthy of the treatment. As a result, yes, it's a druggie comedy that made me laugh.

    The laughs -- mostly crude, profane and drug-addled -- are almost non-stop.

    One of the most hilarious and engaging films from producer Judd Apatow's often inconsistent comedy factory, thanks to inspired dialogue, dynamite chemistry between Rogen and Franco and perfectly pitched stoner gags (undoubtedly the result of copious research).

    Obviously not for everyone especially young children. Contains strong language, drug use, and sexual references but if this does not bother you you can see the well written and well acted characters and very wonderfully thought-out humor that make this film a must see for comedy fans.… Full Review »

    While offering a few laughs, this is in no way a great comedy. Most jokes are too one-sided, they're always about smoking weed (which is of no surprise considering the plot, but still, not all of them are even funny) Besides, the movie boasts some well-filmed (and actually funny in a way) action scenes. In other words, a mediocre comedy, but still worth to watch it once and forget forever.… Full Review »
