Viewing Notes

I can’t recall if I’ve seen any of Gregg Araki’s other films but I’d imagine this is outside the norm for him. I watched it for Anna Faris, who I usually find pretty adorable, even if she’s in retarded material like The House Bunny. Her ability to put herself out there into completely embarassing and rediculous roles I find to be cute. Here we get a pretty typical stoner comedy, seemingly with the only difference being that instead of us having a male lead, its a chick who’s doing dumb stoner stuff.

Throughout this, while it has some moments, I couldn’t help but feel if I was finding Faris’ character to be completely annoying or if I thought she was funny. If I’m wavering, it’s likely that I’m leaning more towards annoying. Why then do I not find the guys in Half Baked, Cheech and Chong, the Friday films, How High and the Harold and Kumar movies to not be totally annoying? I don’t know. I just think its painful to watch Faris, someone I really like and don’t see in that role that irked me. Or maybe because I’m used to seeing her as a ditz, adding an extra layer turns it from charming to irritating.

Anyways, I didn’t hate the movie but just had a hard time rooting for her in her misadventures. She gets what she deserves.
