Kid Cannabis (2014)
2/10
If Superbad had a kid after a one-night-stand with The Wolf of Wallstreet
1 December 2019
Written and directed by John Stockwell (who played the friendly jock in Christine), the film stars that chubby dweeb from Project X and tells the supposed true story about an 18-year-old pizza delivery boy who becomes a marijuana trafficker in Canada with his better looking friend (played by the guy who starred in that Footloose remake) for profit.

If I had one word to describe the movie, it would be 'insufferable'. What I hated the most about the film is the portrayal of women. Now I don't mean to come off as a soyboy, but almost every female in this is literally portrayed as an object; they're either there for a male character to sleep with or there simply for the male viewers to drool over. What I'm trying to say is that not one written female has a character arc; it's almost as if the script was written by an incel.

Lastly, a lot of filmmakers still think that having an actor drop an F-bomb in a comedy every five seconds automatically makes said comedy funny; news flash, it doesn't.

Furthermore, the direction of the film is hit or miss, the acting is hardly on point, and the jokes are, there I say, dead on arrival. I am absolutely baffled by the high rating and praise this movie's gotten. Unless you are a sexually frustrated adult (or a teenager who is still in high school), do not waist your time on this tripe.
