Who besides me wanted the drug dealers to win?


So on one hand we have:

The main character (I forget his name): Corrupt, stupid, ignorant, and murderously negligent (he lets his "best friend" die). Not to mention a really horrible actor.

His girlfriend: Don't feel one way or another about her.

Jonnnnnnnnnny: One of the most obnoxious supporting characters I can recall seeing recently in a movie. Lame storyteller, thinks he's way too cool for school. INSANELY ANNOYING with the whole Johnnnnnnnnny schtick (what was that about, anyway?) And to top it all off, he kept feeling up the other guy's girlfriend and giving away his secrets. Plus, let's not forget why he was obviously coming to Pepe regularly in the first place.


And then we got:

Pepe: Hilarious! Made me crack up every time he was on screen. "There's Nazis and fairies everywhere here". Then he gives the dude a dress to wear and forces his girl to take Ex...holy ****. "A mole...this big...is that cosmetic?"

Let's just say I really wanted this guy to get his money and drugs back.

Other than Pepe, this movie was pure $h!t.

I can see your point of view, Pepe was the most interesting.

Colin Hanks was just annoying. He was doing a mix of his father's role in "Bachelor Party" meets "Less Than Zero".

Johnnnnay got old after the 100th time.

By "drug dealers" I assume you mean the two guys in San Marcos? The people they got the pills from??

No, I didn't want them to win.

I didn't care for the ending, just made the whole thing seem like a waste of time.

The "Johnnny" thing seemed useless and did get old after a while.

And Pepe didn't give Melissa Ecstasy, he gave her a tranquilizer.

Pepe was a very interesting character, which made it hard for me to dislike him. I wouldn't say I was rooting for him to "win" in the end, but he was definitely one of the best parts of this movie IMO.
