Poking Fun at the Ridiculous
4 May 2020
A spoof of the classic anti-marijuana propaganda film "Reefer Madness" from 1936, the musical version comes complete with a great cast and some better-than-average music. Nevertheless, the film made me wonder what is the point of satirizing something that is already a camp classic. When it was released, this film found its audience, and they have been devoted. I, on the other hand, after a couple of viewings find the carrying-on just noisy and excessive, with too few moments actually given over to music. Christian Campbell, Neve Campbell, Alan Cumming, and Ana Gasteyer are all in good voice in the lead roles, especially "The Stuff" performed by Gasteyer.
