I do adore you, sir.
This is one of my favorite category rebuttal posts: "Somebody peed in my pool, and I'm all in a huff about it, although I have NO evidence whatsoever to back up my position and formulate anything resembling a logical argument, so I'll resort to 3rd grade name calling."
I'm in no way offended. Rather flattered. That kind of response means I hit close to home, and whining is your only resort here.
Query: Why defend this sack of sh!t so vehemently? Certainly you've seen movies far more worthy of gathering your knickers in a twist 'tween thy nether cheeks? Ah, nevermind, this is the hill you've chosen to plant your banner upon, and, by God, who am I to rob you of your day in the sun?
As for the film, call me foolish should it strike you, but normally in "drug movies" a goodly percentage of the humor is ordinarily derived from watching the cast of characters behave in comical fashion owing to their intoxication (see "Fear & Loathing", "Where the Buffalo Roam", any of the Cheech & Chong fare, or "Half Baked", even Oliver Platt's cocaine-addled ramblings in "Bullworth" as examples). It allows the target demographic to identify and snicker as these experiences resonate for them.
But, clearly not your cup of tea. So we'll dismiss that for now.
We'll also dismiss, it seems, all the OTHER criticisms I had about the film, none of which can be reduced to a mere whining about drug content. You see, IN ADDITION TO the lack of drug content in a drug movie, it also BLEW DONKEY BALLZ as a film with little to no comedic value. Poorly written, directed, and acted. Incoherent, unfunny crap.
Not having A.D.D., I am able to endure movies which don't press my stimulation button within the first 15 seconds, and since I generally love films, it is a rare occasion that I abandon a flick midstream.
Adieu.

Wow. Do you honestly talk like that? You must be the only person in the world who thinks it's normal to say **insert overly-phony english accent** "knickers a twist 'tween thy nether cheecks", "call me foolish should it strike you", and "goodly" in the same post as "blew donkey ballz" in all caps.
I'd be concerned if that's how you are in real life, and I'd be annoyed if I had meet you.
Your condemnation of the characters'personal characteristics, the odd combinations you said seemed to be "drawn out of a hat," is just ignorant. Everyone has odd personality quirks. Like you for instance; you seem fasinated with arguing in almost a shakespearian attitude, and you feign class and intellegence by using big words and odd sentence structure.
I can't promise you, "should it strike you" to reply, that I will answer. This site is not my life, and flamewars in forums are more immature ranting and biased opinions of solitary social rejects than anything even resembling civilized discussion of adults.

thank you. and who doesn't like to be praised for individuality?

saddens me more than words can express.

ignorant? egad! I was unaware of the standard to which we are appealing! was there a "primer for the explanation of the characters of "Rolling Kansas" I should have been issued?

if I didn't know better, I'd say you were insulting me. I'd explain the intent of the composition of the post I wrote, but I do know better.

No! say it ain't so. In my defense, I would point out the "flamewar" you're referring to isn't a creature of my construction, but rather the
response others have chosen to my ORIGINAL post, which is simply the introduction of a topic for discussion; which is, ostensibly, the aim of a...discussion board. I'm more than willing to
discuss it with you, but, alas, you're too hip for the room, so our loss.

Wow. Did I really type all that? First, I dispsise hypocrisy, so let me appologise: If that sounded harsh, I'm sorry. I am the last person wishing to make personal attacks.
Now for a bit of background on me. Criminal Justice/Legal Studies Major. In Litigation and Civil Procedure Class the book says if you don't deny something, you admit it. I assume that since you have argued barely any of my points (if they can even be called that), you concede them.
As for your 'I'm not starting the flamewar, eveybody getting mad at me is,' it's a piss-poor defense. I can understand expressing a personal opinion of the movie, and I guess you can cloak your declaration of shody characterization (I doubt it's a word, but I think you'll understand what I mean) as a genuine statement of opinion, but some words you say are not protected by the First Amendment and they are called "fighting words." These words are designed to provoke, and cause havoc. I believe that your opinion is a watered-down collection of fighting words aimed at the supporters of this movie. It's kind of like saying, "I can't be blamed for a war even though I fired the first shot."
Once again I appologise for my insults. They were unnecessary, and childish.

In all honesty, the fact that this thread has turned contentious blows me away. In my deepest heart of hearts, this film is a giant turd and it defies explanation that people not only enjoyed it but actually are passionate in defending it.
Reread my first post through the eyes of someone who agrees with me, and you'll see I'm actually seeking commiseration with fellow aficianados of the drug comedy genre. I'd hope we'd laugh together, and through our laughter, find healing - and perhaps the movie would at last be the source of entertainment. But, alas, here we are.
But I do have the integrity to stand behind my opinions. Even when that puts me in the Alamo of discussion.
