Review
by Jason Di Rosso
The Asian American potheads are back, this time getting themselves mistaken for terrorists and ending up on the run from a gung ho, paranoid counter terrorist chief. Run-of-the-mill gross-out humour combines with a playful critique of American prejudice and insularity. From cabin dwelling hillbillies to ghetto blacks and urban Jews, this puts a question mark over some stereotypes and a new twist on others. For a stoner comedy, it makes some lucid points.
