The Feel Good Event of the Year!
From an ominous Lecturer, a small 1930s middle American community learns of the Harper Affair, in which young Jimmy Harper finds his life of promise turn into a life of debauchery and murder thanks to the new drug menace marijuana. Along the way, he receives help from his girlfriend Mary and Jesus Himself, but always finds himself in the arms of the Reefer Man and the rest of the denizens of the Reefer Den.

A stoner-comedy musical, based on the infamous propaganda film _Reefer Madness_ (1938). I am by no means a fan of musicals, but even I have to admit that this one does a great job. However, it does go on a bit long; I think it needed fifteen to twenty minutes shaved off. On to the movie itself: This is a faithful adaptation of the original, only with the obvious spoofing of how ridiculous it was. If you haven't seen the original, no big deal, this will still make sense, though you might not understand the context for the joke itself. So, what is this like? Well, think _Chicago_ (2002), as far as the music and dancing is concerned. In regard to the humor, think more _Little Shop of Horrors_ (1986), and _The Rocky Horror Picture Show_ (1975). The movie is actually very funny, so, as a stoner comedy, it is good. The song and dance numbers are also very good, but not for me. Do I remember any of the songs and love them like I do songs from _Anna and the Apocalypse_ (2017)? Not even close. The highlights for me were Ana Gasteyer screaming "rape me" at the top of her lungs, Kristen Bell looking absolutely adorable, and John Kassir as an insane pothead. Totally recommended for fans of stoner comedies or goofy musicals.
