Ripped

The preview for this movie was far superior to the actual movie. I am a huge fan of Russell Peters and Faizon Love but after 20 minutes of "Ripped", I was ready to for the movie to end.

As expected, the film spews dribble in the form of malicious stereotypes (i.e. potheads are dumb, have no real ambition, and so on). The film doesn't just push stereotypes on the audience, it obnoxiously smothers them with it.

This movie felt like a first draft submitted by a middle school paint- huffer that just discovered weed and the movie: Friday. The best thing about this movie is probably the soundtrack.

There isn't enough weed available to forget this tragedy.

I'm from an era of great smoker movies: the Friday series, How High, Harold and Kumar, Half Baked etc. It's been years watching a stoner movie, so this film came as a big surprise for me.

I'm a big fan of Russel Peters' stand up acts and I love Faizon Love movies, both are well established comedians on their own. Combining these 2 comedians with weed makes a good formula for a good time!

Of course it isn't as good as the movies I mentioned before, but who cares. Watch it without expectation, you'll be surprised how amusing it is and I wasn't even high myself watching it.

It's an alright entertaining flick, don't get too difficult about plots and characters, it's not the point in this film.

Never sure if that's a good thing. Like is that something that comedians Russel Peters and Fazion Love, who star in this film, would want me to say about their stoner flick? I'm going to assume yes because it shows I had fun watching the movie, cause I did.

It's a great stoner premise. Two teen pot heads in the mid-80s get their hands on some supposedly Area 51 chronic that has them snoozing for 30 years.

So you have a lot of jokes about how different life is in 1986 vs 2016. I got the jokes but they were not that funny (With the exception of the visual gag of seeing Peters and Love wearing clothes the teens wore in the 80s, which is more of a getting older joke than an out of time joke).

It was entertaining watching Love's character adapt to the Internet mostly because somehow Love was able to make the adaption seem natural for an out of time man who was mildly interested in this new technology, while other jokes about the 30-year gap seemed forced.

The real funny parts was the plot of these two stoners trying to start a business selling chili and pot. Reminded me of DJ Pooh's movie Burn House, it's just funny watching two stoners trying to be productive.

Then there's the MILF Alex Meneses. I can't recall ever seeing this woman in anything else but she's hot and I would like to see her in something else.

It's no Pineapple Express or Cheech and Chong but only stoners could wake up after a 30-year slumber and get back into their grove so easily. I did laugh or rather I giggled and I had fun and that's what it's all about

Utterly not worth watching. Peters was a bright comic and I thought I could expect some jokes from him, but he did not deliver. Most of the "comedy" is dumb and not funny. Watched about 20 minutes of the film, none of it was memorable. The script and the acting is painfully weak. Could have been a decent film if Peters said something funny once in a while. Alas, I do not remember a single intelligent and genuinely humorous line. Very weak film.

This is a prime example of a strictly Fun movie. It had me laughing through almost the entire movie. It was your average stoner movie. It's definitely meant to not be taken seriously. If you think about the flaws in logic you'll just hurt yourself. Light up some buds and watch Ripped.
