Trivia:

The film was originally titled "Easier Softer Way" and had extensive scenes where Larry, Rico and Big Daddy team up with John DuPree in Nicaragua. He explains the "complex" nature of the Tiny Classified Ads, and how the Real Estate thing is also a scam, and what the real successful business is. The title had links to this plot line, and had nothing to do with the way they finally released the movie, so it was changed to suit the new focus of the plot.

oh man

Terrible. Just terrible. I don't understand why movies like this are made. I mean, sure --every generation will produce its own Cheech & Chong ripoff, but why not try to make a good movie while you have a GL2 in your hand? Why try to load it with C-list celebrities? That's not where movie credibility comes from, & that's not where endurance comes from. Start with the writing, then hire a director with something in his eyes besides his first million dollars. From there, you could make a movie with absolute nobodies in it (as this movie almost inadvertently achieved), & somebody besides the terminally stoned might discover in it some value & a reason to watch it again...or maybe even a reason to appreciate movies. This is garbage. that's all I can say about it. Just garbage. It gets a 2-star rating because I reserve the 1-stars for movies that are so bad they actually have intrinsic value to them.
