I wasn't sure what to expect when this movie showed up on my screen. I had only heard one song by Redman and Method Man and figured this would be some rap-centric movie about two gang bangers trying to get through college.
I was wrong. It's actually two slackers smoking their way through college. It's pretty funny despite the fact there are way too many pot jokes and racial stereotypes. There is a scene where the very Anglo sounding black dean gets some pot filled brownies and starts acting like a ghetto boy. And there is a little Asian kid who acts like Eminem. Those are two examples of cheap jokes that just don't quite get pulled off the ground.
However, Method and Red do a credible job of acting like a couple of potheads (wonder why?). None of the acting is first rate and Jeffrey Jones appearance as the Vice President on the heels of his child pornography charges is weak. Some of the acting is over the top, but that's what we come to expect from low brow, toilet humor based movies.
Kathy Wagner is absolutely stellar in this movie and may be the best reason to see it. All in all the film is a 'feel good' movie with a happy ending. There's enough plot and humor to make it viewable and I would definitely consider watching another Method/Red movie.
