Trivia:

The film was originally titled "Easier Softer Way" and had extensive scenes where Larry, Rico and Big Daddy team up with John DuPree in Nicaragua. He explains the "complex" nature of the Tiny Classified Ads, and how the Real Estate thing is also a scam, and what the real successful business is. The title had links to this plot line, and had nothing to do with the way they finally released the movie, so it was changed to suit the new focus of the plot.

Better then I thought it would be.

Sure, it's no Cheech&Chong, but what is? Someone rented this movie and wanted me to watch it with them. I had no interest, but I watched it anyway. It focuses on two stoners who lose their apartment trying to watch their movie on TNT, and talking about their 'Tiny Classified Ads' business, of course off those infomercials (I used to end up watching those forever when I was trying to sleep), with a few other jokes.

Of course the best was Terry Crews, aka Cold Crush Ice Killa. He's so awesome at those kinds of roles.

Anyway, some of the humor was kind of stupid, and parts of it not great to watch while I was eating, but oh well. It was decent, not horrid. If you give it a chance, it is kind of funny.
