After Doug Benson saw the movie Super Size Me he thought what would happen if you smoked marijuana for 30 days instead. This documentary follows Doug as he goes without weed for 30 days then smokes weed all day for 30 days.

What I Liked About This Movie
To be honest I had never heard of Doug Benson before I saw this movie. Throughout the movie there are small clips of him doing stand up comedy and he is pretty funny at times. It was very interesting to see his comedy routine while he was not using any drugs. Comparing his comedy while off drugs as opposed to while under the influence it is obvious Doug Benson is funnier when high.
What Didn’t Work For Me
Everything else about this movie is a mess. If you are going too blatantly rip off someone else’s concept (even copy the poster artwork) at the very least you should make a movie on par with it. After finishing this movie I could not pin point what the central message was. The uneven changes in the theme range from “oh I do not really need weed” to “wow being on weed is so good” to “people with medical issues should have access to legal marijuana”. To make matters worse the ending does not even attempt to pull together all the ideas explored throughout the movie.

You would think that the above statement would be enough to ensure you do not watch this movie but I would like to ensure you don’t by mentioning how poorly shot this movie is. Most shots are either very softly focused to the point of being almost out focus or have the contrast bumped up way too high.
Should You Watch This Movie?
Not worth your time.
