Storyline

Recently out of jail and completely broke, Julian has a plan to get outrageously rich. However, he first has to deliver his product to Montreal where his rival Cyrus is waiting to close the deal. In the meantime, the government's plan to legalize marijuana threatens Ricky and his dope business, so he goes to Ottawa to take action against the impending bill. With Julian and Ricky on a road trip, Bubbles joins the pair with his own agenda - to go find the inheritance left for him by his long-lost parents. The trio runs into trouble when ex-park supervisor Jim Lahey and Randy go after the boys in hopes of making them rot in jail.

User Reviews

Surprisingly Good....

For relativelylate in the TPB game, this is pretty durn good.... all the movies are either good or very good, the specials run from very good to great (not the live stuff, which is tough after the first 30 mins. usually; but the filmed "bookends" w/the live stuff are always very good)

but i digress.... nice to see the boys in a different environment; the production values/film quality are high, and the story moves along at a nice clip. it has a slight "toned down" feel compared w/other more manic TPB stuff, but that doesn't really hurt it. some of the things towards the end don't make perfect sense - is ricky lobbying to legalize pot cuz it's "good," or not to, cuz it'll hurt his business? - and they wrap things up quickly w/randy oddly back in their good graces, but these are minor quibbles

if you're a fan, you'll love it, of course. if you're new to TPB, you could do worse than to start w/one of their movies, including this one
