However, he ends up getting roped into a drug trade ring with an undercover Snoop Dogg, who has found himself in a similar conflict with the law. Dr. Wolfman has to clear the name of both him and Mr. Dogg, while also staying under the radar of the school's administration. Can he make it back in time to save the world?

This Movie Grew On Me

At first view, felt disappointed. However, after the second and third view, I liked it more and more for what it was ..a stoner movie. Mac, played by Snoop, has the "green" and is cool with all the stone-rs. He doesn't like Devin, played by Wiz Khalifa, because he's a uncool, scholarly type. To their dismay, they get paired together for the class' chemistry project and a wild ride commences. Big up to Wiz for doing a good job on his first acting role. Plus, there's Snoop, Mike Epps, that fine lady teacher and that blond, short hair lady comedian in it. ...this movie is entertaining. Sure it is low budget, but so what? It's going to be a cult classic. This movie does what it's supposed to do and it's got a lot of cool animated affects in it that I appreciated. I can also relate to many of the comedic subjects of the film's high school scenes. I especially like the "out-takes" at the end of the DVD - Note Snoop and Mike Epp's freestyle rap; Snoop doing the beat on a desk, Mike rapping about something that sounds like, "turkey-bacon smelly bitches" Lol! ..cool as you know what!
