My Review
Source Material: An original written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore
Acting and Dialogue: A-: Funny and cleaver.
Art Direction: B-: A comedy with very little "art direction" but Vagas is pretty right
Cinematography: B: dido comment from the art direction section above. Nothing that was wow and amazing.
Direction: A: The pace was good and there was always a laugh around the corner.
Sound and Music: B: Decent sound track, some parts were lame but it was a comedy .
VFX: C: No VFX therefore, no comment.
Overall: B: Great addition to the "Stoner/ Drunk" Comedy genre. I laugh through out and I think most any guy over 18 would too.Not a movie for the moral just look at the rating...Rated R for pervasive language, sexual content including nudity, and some drug material. The setting is Vagas and the film displays Sin City very well., if you know what I mean.
