Enthralling, entertaining feature.
This energetically acted, creatively directed comedy-drama has every ingredient for success except a satisfying finale.
It's all entertaining enough, but don't look for any hefty anti-establishment message in what is essentially a whip-crack of a buddy movie that ends with a whimper.
The group's credo, "Live free, stay high," only confirms your worst suspicions about their real motives. And that makes it hard to feel any nostalgia for the good old days or condemn the members who came to their senses and moved on.
A blitz of anti-authoritarian poses so feel-good you'd think someone was selling you sneakers.
Its bone-deep willingness to do anything to entertain is exhausting.
Even if the time were somehow right for a madcap comedy about terrorists, What To Do In Case Of Fire would still look pretty lousy.
