BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hayden Kane There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

SnoosReviews I had never heard of this movie until I stumbled across it on Sky Movies, I had a quick look at the trailer, thought it looked interesting enough so I gave it a watch. As the opening credits roll we are told that it is based on a true story, I am not sure how loosely this is but there were definitely some parts of Kid Cannabis which I found very unrealistic and bizarre.The story follows two teenage, high school dropout stoners with no hope of ever making a decent living with a standard job. They spend most of their time getting high, trying to fit in at parties and score drugs. Before long they realise that they have an opportunity to get rich quick by becoming drug smugglers, smuggling marijuana over the boarder of Canada to America. One will run, across country through the woods with a backpack full of Marijuana while the other drives across the borders security in an empty car and meets him on the other side. This is where the story starts to get a little too unbelievable for my liking.On their first trip to Canada they dig a boat out of a lake and sell it for $1800, they then get ripped off for their money by a dealer who sells them cheap drugs. Then on their second trip to Canada they bump into a girl at a petrol station who is smoking, she just so happens to be the daughter of a massive drug supplier who runs a marijuana farm. They are introduced and within 5 minutes they have their Canadian supplier, and it's that easy. Secondly, They then go back to America to try and find a contact to which they can sell the weed to in bulk. Again, within 5 minutes, they have a deal in place with a well-known drug kingpin, apparently it's that easy. The lads then unknowingly move next door to their local drug dealing rival and one of the lad's mothers has no problem that her son is snuggling millions of dollars of drugs over the border.Kid Cannabis did entertain me but the fact it stated to be a true story and had so many unbelievable aspects made it hard for me to really get immersed into the movie. Worth a watch if you have nothing else to do, it is an easy watching film but has many flaws in my opinion 6/10

Mike Alessandra (s0817546) I originally played this movie late at night so that I could fall asleep to it. However, once the beginning credits started to play, I could not keep my eyes off the screen as my attention was caught early and stayed strong all the way through. It shows the meteoric rise of a 18 year old high school drop out to a massive drug hauling king pin.I realize that some people will be quick to pass up this movie as some 'stoner flick' not worth watching but there is so much more to this movie than meets the eye. The film has a little bit of everything including strong dialogue, relatable characters, and quite a few laughs in between. The characters are believable and likable and all parts are played satisfactorily. The ending wrapped everything up nicely and answered all questions that have been in viewers' minds while watching.Overall, solid movie indeed. It may not have the most depth in terms of story, but nonetheless it was a very entertaining movie. 7/10

gpmonch First of all this movie has a bad title which makes you think it is a stupid mindless comedy which it is not, it is actually based on true events. The reason I rated it 7 is because it has some truly realistic elements about it starting off with Jonathan Daniel Brown portraying the leading role, not your common type cast for a main character especially in American movies, also other cast members and events were realistic in a way that reminded me of Jessie Pinkman's friends and their Shenanigans in "Breaking Bad". However after the first hour of the movie I just kind of lost interest in the very boring and predicted turn of events and continued watching till the end while playing with my phone….Final note: Kenny Wormald (talking about bad names…) portraying Topher has a real star quality about him, I wouldn't be surprised seeing him star in something big in the future, maybe there's a good reason why guy's like that get to play the main characters and guy's like Jonathan Daniel Brown usually settle for the side-kick's part.

Simon Scott It'd be nice if someone could make some stoner films that aren't filled with clichés/rip offs/stereotypes. Someone wrote in a review that it was like the wolf of wall street but for bud... they're right. But it's not a good thing, you can see what they have imitated very clearly. The weird cop who stops them is a rip off from Super Troopers (he says meow before he walks back to his car for no reason - the game in super troopers). They also casually enforce really bad stoner stereotypes which are the source of the stigma behind smoking cannabis. I could go on. The characters don't feel real. None of them have charisma and I feel like I'm hearing a story from the one kid at school who lies and exaggerates to sound cool and I can't wait for it to be over. I know it's based on true events but it's clearly heavily dramatized and badly written. The only redeeming feature of this film is a couple of famous names I didn't expect to see in such a shocker and some technical knowledge. Emphasis on some.Top ten worst stoner movies.
