Just a cheap waste of time.


So here we are with a rip off film of Supersize Me. It makes no bones about doing the same deal with the difference about getting high.

Personally, I don't care either way for the pros or the cons, I wanted to be entertained. This film really offers nothing of value here.

The lead it it is unfunny at best and all we see is dilated eyes and a slurring of words - but - he's still the same guy.

The kicker here, is that you could assume that he already is so whacked out by what he's done over the years the before and the after tests from at least the mental point of view were always going to be the same - still his choice.

It gives an odd snapshot of celebs that we know ( as I'd never heard of this guy ) sitting around tables getting high or drunk after shows. What was nice is that you got to see for a very few moments some people in situitions that you would not normally see.

When he was high, I expected a little more then what we got - this is not the worst film I have ever seen - but just a waste.

I would also have expected some withdrawal symptoms during the 30 days. Clearly not.

There was an ideal chance here to speak about the rogue cop that was shutting down the medical centres, that was touched on but with lots of views of people behind police lines that was about it. So much more potential wasted...

The guy is such a damn hack I can't believe the people who funded this turd expected anything good out of it. How do you have this many talented names in this project and still ruin it. But then again, have they seen his standup? He is so not funny it's perplexing that he is in even the very few TV appearances he's somehow gotten. Ok we get it Doug, you smoke weed...and when you are tanking on stage, as you usually do, you start to talk louder and act more erratic to try to be funny. Cheech and Chong made being high funny, you make a fool of yourself...and as the original poster noted, waste everyone's time.
