Storyline

High Times' Pot Luck is an upbeat pot caper that centers around a mobster who discovers the magic of marijuana. Frank is a loyal mob soldier whose eyes and mind are opened when he gets turned on to some killer weed by Jade, a beautiful young punk rocker who fronts an all-girl band. A suitcase full of high-quality reefer follows them throughout the film-- the suitcase is bought and sold, then stolen and restolen by an unlikely cast of gangsters, artists, drag queens and activists. The movie erupts in downtown Manhattan at a rally for the legalization of marijuana, where all the characters come together, making this the "Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World of Pot."

funny times with pot and high times!!

I went to see High Times Pot Luck with a friend and was given the ticket as a gift. I did not really know what I was walking into but was interested and eager to see what it was about, being a fan of the magazine and also of the plant. I had never seen any movie produced by High Times but gave them the benefit of the doubt and I am very glad that I did.

The movie grabs you as soon as it starts and takes you on this extremely funny, witty, and all out in your face comedy. There are few movies that can stand with HTPL and the roller-coaster ride that you go on. The cast is excellent! The direction is extraordinarily innovative and capturing. This movie also offers wide variety of cameos appearances that each add their very own flavor to their scenes. An all around good time and I can't wait for it to come out on DVD. This is definitely a "Cult Classic" in the making.
