    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rhys Ifans became firm friends with Howard Marks several years before the film was made, and extracted a promise that he would star if a movie of the dealer's life was ever produced.
    • Goofs
      When Howard Marks crashes his car in Ireland, it's obvious that the car went further than the film makers expected as the camera jerks untidily to the right to keep it in shot.
    • Quotes

      Howard Marks: A dealer is really just someone who buys more dope than he can smoke. And I have to say, I'm ashamed, I tried to smoke it all. There was just too fuckin' much of it.

    • Crazy credits
      The credits appear over a super slow motion shot of Howard Marks (Rhys Ifans) lighting and taking a toke from a joint.

    Enjoyable Romp
    Nothing really serious, this just tries to entertain you. And it does achieve it most of the time. The acting is really good. Though I'm not sure if this is really based on anything that really happened (and if so, how accurate it did handle it).

    The humor is not to everyones taste and there is a weird mixture with drama and adult themes going on. The UK rating still seemed a bit too high for my taste (no pun intended). It must have been the themes it did touch I guess. The story has bumps here and there, that do not allow you to be completely on top of it. Still despite those flaws, there is much fun to be had, with the rest of it.
