    • Quotes

      Alex: Anyway, I was wondering if maybe I could crash here for a while.

      Dante: Whoa, I don't know, man. I got a business to run. This is like my office as well as my home. Plus, the lion comes in a couple days.

      Alex: You're getting a lion?

      Dante: Yeah.

      Alex: Why?

      Dante: To protect my shit.

      Alex: Never heard of a dog?

      Dante: Dude, you can get past a dog. Nobody fucks with a lion.

      Alex: Yeah, that's true.

    Absolutely Hilarious!
    One of the best stoner films i have seen in a long while. Even though I love such movies as Harold and kumar go to white-castle. I'd have to say this one was a lot funnier. With snappy lines the movie was great. Decent plot made the movie had just what it needed to be a classic stoner flick.i went to rent this movie with low expectations and when I had finished watching the movie even my father (who is somewhat strict) thought it was hilarious. See this movie. I was surprised to see that this movie had only a 6.6 on IMDb.com and see all of the comments that were negative. All in all this was a great movie and i would suggest it to anyone who likes a fun loving silly movie. oh and IMO i think that guy DOES look like Mel Gibson!
