I think Luke Wilson is hot, okay? Don't judge!
This film is about a guy who sells pot. And then some chick moves in with him and wants to exploit him for his art. And then she introduces him to someone who can do that, but she gets jealous that that person and the guy might be hooking up. So then she hooks up with some musician who she moves to New York with, but he's psycho and then she hooks up with some homeless guy, but then she's unhappy and still likes the drug dealer guy who has been hooking up with that chick who she thought he was hooking up with and also maybe some other chick who they are both friends with? If that sounds either like it doesn't make any sense or it's really stupid and weird, ummm, it's both.
Actually I feel asleep twice during this film. The first time I went back and made sure to rewatch the part I missed, the second time I just kinda let it go because it had gotten so stupid that I didn't care. This film from the beginning does not make any sense. I swear to god the plot is whack. IT JUST DIDN'T MAKE SENSE. I don't get how this chick just brings her friend who is
overdosing into this guys house and then they become "roommates"? Or was that part where the chick is overdosing a joke and they actually really knew each other? And how long does she stay with him before she decides to exploit him for his art? Like five minutes? And yeah, if that plot summary made her sound crazy, well that's how she was in the filmAnd the chick who plays that chick could not act. Or maybe she can and was trying to portray the character as a liar who was faking her emotions and relationships? I don't know. To me, it seemed like the beginning of the film was really poorly acted. And the whole film was just stupid.
The only somewhat okayish almost characters are they two gay friends of the drug dealer (who apparently are only known as gay from like the second half of the film, it was like "surprise, we're a couple" except we were supposed to know that they were always a couple). And yeah, one of them is Andy Dick, and he's actually kind of okay in this film. I mean, why not?
But yeah, it's dumb, don't watch it. Thanks. Oh wait, Jack Black is in it too, I think he came in about the second time I started to fall asleep. So good for him?
