Reviews

Hilarious film

"Haven't watched this film in years but so excited to pick up this beautiful disc. Happy to see so many of Gregg Araki's films getting some fantastic releases. Although I'm bummed I missed out on the slipcase this is still a great pickup."

Austin B. (5/5)

the 'Come and See' of stoner comedies

"In my Araki top 3 - it at first seems atypical, but there's some absolutely beautiful shots and lighting and stylization that makes sense from the director of Mysterious Skin. I'm not usually a comedy guy but this is one of the funniest movies of all time, with a great physical star performance by Anna Farris who should've won an Oscar for this. Captures the feeling of being way too stoned and still having to function. It's the 'Come and See' of stoner comedies"

Ryan M. (5/5)

Anna Faris For The Win

"Anna Faris is hilarious. She’s already goofy and silly, and her playing a stoner is perfection. I’m glad this film was given the royal treatment with excellent special features."

Jeffrey L. (4/5)
