Director: F. Gary Gray
Year Released: 1995
Rating: 1.0
Cheech & Chong-inspired pro-drug/anti-gun violence buddy movie that takes place during one day in the life of two slackers (Ice Cube and Chris Tucker) in the suburbs outside Los Angeles. The appeal lies almost solely in whether or not you find Chris Tucker's high-pitched, hyped-up pusher to be funny: I don't, actually, so the overall effect is lost on me, and the word-of-mouth ranking as one of the 'funniest movies of all time' is even more baffling. If you laugh at the idea of stinky underwear being picked up with a straw (and then smelling the straw!), have I got a treat for you....
