I get what they were trying to do. A stoner film with randomness, drugs, gross humour and tits rolled together like a tight joint. This "film" fails in every category.The 'plot':A 35 year old man (going on 50) is a video game tester. He gets evicted as his room mate spends all their money on hookers. Apparently the protagonist was not able to find a flat to rent so he moves into his friends house who has a clear learning disability. He then ejaculates on his mother while jacking it to a doll then moves in with his grandmother and her friends. He then meets a pretty prop who he wants to have sex with. Everyone derides and ridicules one loser (who is also a 'genius prodigy' responsible for the rest having jobs), but the other losers are celebrated and are apparently cool dudes who normal professional women adore? Villain is defeated when the protagonists grandmother beats him in a video game clearly made using Unreal Engine that he apparent coded on an Xbox (not a computer, only has one copy as an XBox disc?). A chimpanzee fights an elephant. The EndFeaturing:-Jonah Hill sucking on a tit -Sexual predator seduces slightly retarded man-child who is young enough to be her grandson (not creepy unless its the other way around apparently) -Women portrayed as and called whores throughout the film -Unnecessary randomness -45 year olds playing 30 year olds acting like 15 year olds. -Desperate virgins -Idiotic writing -Awful acting -Unlikeable protagonist -Ridiculous caricatures and stereotypes -Wasted talent -Fart jokes just becauseand much, much more. I'm not sure if the multiple 10 star reviews are bought and paid for. Part of me hopes that they are...Avoid this film, my wife is still mad at me for putting it on.

Yeah I enjoy like I'm not saying this is the best comedy ever made like they're good ones like Clerks (1995). I don't care what most critic say it's funny. Man I think this film has been misunderstood like really I don't think it's a bad movie. It's better than Grown Ups (2010) and Vacation (2015).Score: 9.5/10

I guess I'm in the minority on this page but I thought this movie was awful.Just a lot more of the same old typical pothead and gross out humour start to finish.Basically the only thing funny about the whole movie to me was simply the premise, that a 35 year old loser was still living at home with his grandmother. Not much different from the usual living at home with the parents and the quality of the movie showed that, just the typical old lady jokes.I don't recommend this one unless you're a very big fan of stoner/loser movies.

Absolute rubbish. I'm really not sure how it has managed to garner such a high rating on IMDb (maybe pot smokers are getting discounts from their dealers if they log on to IMDb and give this movie a high rating?) Basically this is a film about stoners, for stoners that was written by stoners.It's just a series of jokes about pot and sex all thrown together in one 90 minute montage, and it's not even technically proficient.There are lots of scenes that do absolutely nothing to advance the plot. There is ZERO character arc for the lead protagonist. There is almost no plot development (which makes for a completely flat and boring film) apart from the initial set up, and then a brief flurry at the very end which is meant to inject drama into the story. However this final attempt to salvage the plot from being a complete flat-line is so poorly executed, credulous and quickly resolved that it simply may as well not even be there. Even the way this film has been shot and edited together is confusing (at one point, because of the way the actor has been directed and the scene has been shot, the impression is given that the female lead may have something to hide - but no, there is no secret, just poor direction, shooting and editing.) Even the supposed love story in this film is nonsensical - the character of the female lead is simply not developed in any substantial way, and so we don't care about her because we just don't know her. She is literally there to play a formulaic part so that the male lead ends up with a girl at the end.It's just a really bad movie that has been poorly crafted, and which introduces several different themes but never really develops any one of them properly into a cohesive storyline or character arc - it literally starts us off a journey, and then gets lost in pothead woods.(This is probably the harshest review I've ever written on IMDb yet, by the way).
