Anakin S Oct 10, 2017 There's not one thing you can't see coming at every turn. Still, an enjoyable story about transgressive youth, crime and high times. See more
Draco L Mar 16, 2017 This being based on a true story is what makes it good. Kind of like War Dogs were some younger guys get in over their head. The voice over is always part of the recipe for these movies. See more

Leia S Apr 14, 2014 Kid Cannabis is a very intriguing movie due in large part to the fact that it's based on a true story. A true story that seems almost unbelievable at times and totally believable at others. It follows Nate Norman on a journey from fat, pizza delivering pothead, to still fat, international drug kingpin. While up in Canada, Nate and his best friend Topher, stumble across some ultra premium bud, honed by possibly my favorite character in the movie, Jon Grefard (played by the always awesome John C. McGinley). With deadpan lines like "the shit we grow here... is FUCKING INSANE" and "this is my masterpiece from a US government laboratory", it's easy to see why. The guy is unknowingly hilarious. Determined to get his single, working class mother out of debt, Nate decides to capitalize on his discovery by partnering with Grefard (and a host of other shady characters), to form a $68 million/year international drug smuggling business. Quite the feat! The movie really takes off from here. Not only does it become adrenaline inducing, high stakes viewing, the movie provides a wonderful insight into how something so wildly unbelievable can turn believable, in an instant. I got quite the educational experience and I even started to question what I do for a living (haha). From evading authorities, camouflage getups and underground tunnels, to territorial wars and massive parties, it's all here and it's all done extremely well. I really felt like I was living the movie. As you know, a movie is only as good as it's characters and I'm happy to say, Kid Cannabis really delivers in this regard. Each character is unique, believable and full of personality. It really makes for a fun dynamic. The acting is solid across the board, as well. If you're into adventure, adrenaline, humor, and something a little off the beaten path, do yourself a favor and watch Kid Cannabis. I think you will be glad you did. Highly Recommended. See more
