If you liked 'How High' then you'll HATE this movie!

I don't have a whole lot to add to the other reviews that hated this movie, I just wanted to write one and say I hated it, too!! I hated it so much that it prompted me to write my first IMDb review! First off, I should say that I have been a fan of Snoop's since 'The Chronic' and 'Doggystyle' and have been a big fan for the last 20 years, and that is probably why this movie is so disappointing. To start off the movie "Slow Burn" the talking joint is a joke and is kind of racist if you ask me- perpetuates the ignorant black man stereotype. Especially at the end of the movie, "Slow Burn" says something like "No matter what field you in, creative, blue collar, white collar..there's a lot of genius motherf**er$ out there that smoke herb on the regular" and goes on to say "if smoking weed can bring people as opposite as Mac and Devin together, there's nothing weed can't do!" I'll admit that I am a daily weed smoker, but I don't think sentiments about the positive effects of marijuana delivered in this immature manner are NOT helping the cause. Also at the end, Devin(Wiz) gives his valedictorian speech, but stops right after he begins to say "You know, a good friend told me to look at it like this..." and starts singing 'Young Wild N' Free' which, by the way, plays at a TON of transitions in the movie. This kind of brings me to my overall thoughts on this movie, and that it is really just a bad, long-form version of a 'Young Wild N' Free" music video. Plus, as mentioned by other reviewers, the movie is halted several times for music video breaks, and even these are really lame compared to your average rap video. Anyway, I've already written more than I wanted to about this. So in short, this is a terrible movie - bad acting, bad script, non-existent plot! If you want to see a good stoner/rapper movie, go check out 'How High' with Method Man and Redman! That movie is, at the very least, a REAL movie. 'Mac and Devin' is NOT a real movie, watch only if you want to see a complete train-wreck!
