If anything is proven by this new and rare female-led stoner movie, it is that there is always a new generation of marijuana enthusiasts willing to try to earn our laughter and complicity at the expense of their addiction.
Olivia Wilde creates a kind of sexy monster who may well become one of the most memorable characters you see this year.
This is The Wizard of Oz, only with transactional sex, gangsters, Hollywood misfits, countless pop culture references, and surprise celebrity cameos.
