In the mold of The Groove Tube, The Kentucky Fried Movie, and Amazon Women on the Moon, The War on the War on Drugs is a funny and intelligently written movie that demonstrates why sketch comedy works so much better in the feature film format than on television. Although not every single sketch hits the mark, the majority do. Especially funny are Carrie Keranan in Cooking with Carrie, Brandon Sneider in the Know Your Dealer sketch, and Kenny Marshall as "Sissy Boy" in the Dr. Burke sketch.
I had almost forgotten how much fun the feature length sketch comedy movie could be, but after watching The War on the War on Drugs my appetite has been whetted for more of these kind of movies and I am definitely looking forward to seeing more upcoming films in this little known genre.
