Overrated

Boring

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Kid Cannabis is loosely based on the true tale of Nate Norman (Jonathan Daniel Brown) as a chubby high school dropout and pizza delivery boy who with his best stoner buddy Topher (Kenny Wormald) and gang of potheads started a marijuana smuggling operation from Canada, cock a snook to an arrogant rival and soon build a multi million dollar business which leads to debauchery and partying too hard.Like an even more nerdy version of Blow with ineptness such as the boys getting searched each time they try to get into Canada or getting lost as they try to trek through the woods to get back over the border with their illicit goods.Things get darker as the excesses take their toll, the police home in on them and the loyalties of the gang are tested.This is a low budget film which works better as a dark comedy with notable supporting performances by Ron Perlman and John C McGinley. It is just too convenient that they find an extraordinary weed grower in Canada and a special buyer in the USA.

At first I was rather skeptical about watching this one, but oh no, I am so glad that I did, I really enjoyed this movie, has a good story line and well filmed. Interesting story, based on a true story. Was slightly skeptical about watching this one after reading a couple of the previous reviews but I am glad that I did, it certainly made for an entertaining watch. I'm a regular marijuana user so naturally I enjoyed the heavy theme of marijuana - though I do think this would be a good watch for someone who's never touched it, good cinematography and story, give it a watch, glad that I did. A couple of the scenes did feel somewhat lacking and you could tell that the makers did not have a large budget to play with - though nonetheless they pulled it off well. Definitely recommend.

I found this movie to be surprisingly good! I'm usually not one for stoner movies, and I didn't take it seriously at first, because the title of the movie, along with the poster, it just looked like a typical dumb stoner movie, but after seeing the trailer many months back, and Netflix had just added it to their Instant Streaming, so I decided to watch it. I'm surprised how good of a movie it actually was, and even more surprised on the couple of big named actors they got in the movie! The 2 big named actors in the movie, I'm fans of them and shows they stared in (John C. McGinley - Scrubs, and Ron Perlman - Sons of Anarchy), so maybe I'm being a little biased on their part. Even the not so big named actors were pretty good in the movie as well. It's based on a true story, and the story can be quite realistic during the time it took place in. (2005-2006) It's listed as a comedy, and a drama, although it had a few funny parts, I think this is another reason why people won't take it seriously, and just think it's a typical stoner movie. This film did take part in some clichés and stereotypes, like all the partying, sex/nudity (Which I don't mind), it was still a great film, and since it was based on a true story, who knows, maybe that stuff actually did happen.I give this film an 8/10, and would recommend you watch this movie, if you have Netflix, it was just added, so you can watch it there!

OK, there are some critical reviews on here where some folks seem to have been a tad too critical. It wont win any awards, it wont light everybody's fires BUT it is at least entertaining, much more so than a lot of other films that pretend to be something they aren't. It has its moments and it has its failings but don't look at it as some sort of realistic portrayal of drug dealing. Sit down with popcorn, a few good mates whom enjoy a smoke and watch it. I was pleasantly surprised and that takes quite a lot in my increasingly cynical life...It does, however, accurately portray how carefully picking your friends (or not carefully picking them) can have sometimes deadly ramifications. Why does a review have to contain 10 ruddy lines in IMDb. Sometimes just saying "Its bloody brilliant" is enough to convey the message that something is good, just as "its utter crap" conveys the exact opposite message.
