Anyone else see this yet? The theater was surprisingly thin for an opening night.

It was really funny... to be expected given the cast and production team.

But surprisingly, I thought it had a pretty good message to it that I think a lot of people will brush off because it's just another "marijuana movie."

I don't even know if I can discuss that message here due to the forums rules about politics... but it definitely gave a pretty strong case against prohibition.

goin' soon. maybe tonight. probably tomorrow night.

I've heard it's not a fun stoner movie though (I'm okay w/ stoners in action, but not okay with stoners who eventually go "Oh, drugs are bad mmkay")

I don't get the appeal of Seth Rogen. Not funny IMHO.

james franco was awesome in it. the drug war story was really campy, which i think the demo will find funny (i did!).

my biggest disappointment was finding out that mr. thug life ISN'T mclovin. i spent the whole summer thinking he was. i guess christopher mintz-plasse really WILL never work again.

Judd Apatow worked with Sandler on writing Don't Mess with the Zohan.
