The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis

The movie is 74 minutes of hilarious pro-drug vignettes, loosely strung together like a themed episode of "Saturday Night Live."

The Onion (A.V. Club) Tasha Robinson

Writer-director-producer-actor-composer-singer Soling claims to have spent a year researching the war on drugs before deciding to make a satire instead of a documentary, but he apparently threw most of his facts out the window in favor of absurdism, exaggeration, slander, and self-congratulatory humor.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Like so much dope humor, Soling's logic is fuzzy, and you'd have to be pretty high to find any of it funny.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

Seemingly made while writer-director-star Cevin Soling was heavily under the influence, this generally witless ode to illegal substances is apparently meant to be viewed that way, as well.

New York Post Kyle Smith

Strings together 60 amateurish short films to tell us drugs are cool, man.

Village Voice Peter L'Official

Ineptitude is so thorough here that War on . . . could only make sense as a sinister governmental smear campaign to justify the war on drugs and total sobriety.

The average user rating for this movie is 6.0 (out of 10) based on 6 User Votes
