I love the end of the summer when all the blockbuster movies start winding down and out come the stoner movies. And by the way, does that genre actually have its own department? Are there people in production houses like, "Jim, you're on drama, Kerry you've got romantic comedy, Bill, Ted, you guys are on stoner movies." Because if it is, I want that job.
Ah glorious digital era. Now DVD's come with extras and with every stoner movie, comes hilarious rounds of promotional gimmicks and brilliant viral videos. We've been blessed with some truly gifted comedians and we should all be very grateful. Imagine how boring life would be without these three men....
The premise reminds me a lot of The Man Who Knew Too Little -- and movies where people don't know what's going on around them (Sean of the Dead) are always hysterical. Ben Stiller, genius that he is, wrote, directed and starred in it. Jack Black is always a riot. And Robert Downey Jr. plays a black man for crying out loud. So from the looks of it, I'd say it's a good ol' fashioned recipe for hilarity.
