The combination of the disturbing, ripped-from-the-headlines images of brown people being rounded up like Jews in the 1930s and the zany, Boomer stoner comedy just did not work for me. At all.
You should make that movie then. Thats not what this movie was about.

"I have done a lot of drugs and drank a lot, I can't remember every f***ing password"!!! or whatever he said was classic. I mean, I feel that, I can't imagine remembering that from 15-20 years ago! ha ha

If you love the "burnout trapped in a serious movie" routine, I recommend The Big Lebowski. Also, The Pineapple Express. I can probably think of ten more, if you give me a minute. Oh...Inherent Vice, of course!

You might literally die laughing.

The beauty of the password scene is that it rings at least five different comical bells at once, not the least of which lampooning the 70’s spectacle of upper middle class kids playing lethal double naught spy desperados. The rest, most of us caught the first time. Every important aspect of this film had both a comic side against a very real dark side. There was a spoonful of sugar for each dose of tragic medicine.

I am pretty offended that you think a dude who is posting on a movie forum has never seen The Big Lebowski, or Pineapple Express...or even Inherent Vice. Come on man! What's next, telling me that the ending to The Usual Suspects is pretty good? :P
