I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

An absolute waste of money

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The documentary evokes more questions then it answers. Snoop Dogg tells he wants to discover the rastafari life. What was he expecting? What is driving him? What does rastafari mean to him? What has this soul journey brought him? Well, some of the most essential questions remain unsolved. All you see is a man playing the roll of the rapper Snoop Dogg.The documentary has not more depth then an average music video. Snoop is playing Snoop and that's it. Then there is the music in the "documentary". I got the feeling that Snoop is more of a personality and a singer. The whole musical production seems to be done by Diplo and his crew. Furthermore there seem to be little chemistry between the rapper and his selected producers. The cooperation feels more like pragmatic business relation.The most fascinating about the documentary is the role of his wife and kids. The multimillionaire gangster rapper still being with his first wife. She is credited as producer and her nickname is "Boss Lady".. Unfortunately her role is limited to a few shots and I can't recall her getting to say some lines. But it gives you glimp of the true person behind Snoop Dogg.Maybe this "docu" is interesting for the fans. For other people this is very mediocre prolonged video clip not worthy to be entitled as documentary.

This is one of the best things I have ever watched. It's a powerful, touching insight into a great man's life. I had respect for snoop dogg before this for his entrepreneurial skills, but hearing about his story and how he is trying to come through his life of crime and spread a positive message touched me.There's some cool stuff about rap music, and some cool stuff about weed, if your into that kind of thing.Even if you aren't it's still a great watch I think.There's also some cool insight into life in Jamaica and some wise rasta's talking sense.Anyone who is into wisdom and stuff, will love this.

I saw this film as a desperate career move. Come on Snoop ......let Jamaicans do the stuff..don't you have enough already? And BTW, what have you done for the yard??? school, hospital, what??? Snoop LION? You are American, be that, do that, help where you can. Stop the exploitation. Horrid movie portraying the industry as weed, weed, weed. Clearly influenced by what snoop wants to believe about himself. You are an embarrassment to the roots. Go figure it out elsewhere. This film rambles and seems to stay just in the dark and the studio, more spotlight should have been on others. Poor direction, poor story line, trying to connect orange county with Kingston.

I saw this movie as a press-screening in Amsterdam, loved it. Take this movie / documentary with a little grain of salt and you will like it. It helps when you are into hiphop or familiar with Snoop's work. It takes you from Snoop Dogg to Snoop Lion in a mostly funny but sometimes even very serious way. Combine this with fat beats, nice studio sessions and you got a nice documentary.Be prepared for a lot of weed smoking scene's, with Daz as a funny sidekick who does really nothing in the end. You will get to hear some of the reasons behind some of the album tracks. In the end it's nothing earth-shaking but great for the fans.
