Tight script, excellent film with great comedy., 29 April 2006
10/10
Author: cd-83 from United States

I've seen Fifty Pills twice, and it is the type of comedy you need to see more than once because you will be laughing too hard the first time to catch all the humor. The script is very tight with no noticeable loopholes.

Acting and direction were both excellent. Film is rated "R" due to language and content, yet curiously has no nudity. I thought it was a refreshing change to see a rated "R" comedy without nudity. If you want to watch porn, go watch porn. If you want to laugh your ass off, watch Fifty Pills! For those who might be concerned about the content, the underlying moral story is actually very interesting...be sure to pay special attention at the end.
