...movie in a couple of hours, but forgot to double check and see if it was funny when they regained their normal states of consciousness. All the obvious jokes are there--people stumbling around, people eating huge amounts of food due to "munchies," stoned people in a car swallowing all their drugs to prevent the police from finding the evidence, innumerable puns on the word "shit"--and they are run by you time and again in a desperate attempt to get laughs.

Most complaints concern car repairs; others range from false advertising to ill-fitting hairpieces. One woman complained of a backache that came from wearing a bra supposed to increase her bust size.
