Awful "indie" about a lost (played: comatose) medical student who follows a girl (where did you go, Fairuza?) to a Northern California pot farm, where he learns to live again. Excusing the green photography and setting, this film tastes like bong water. Main character's transformation is unbelievable—unless he just needed oxygen, crises happen on clockwork cue, and [excess] characters pass around life speeches like so-many empty reefers. The climax involves a shotgun, a helicopter, running around, and the DEA. Peter Bogdanovich, who is undoubtedly now searching for acting jobs in porn, looks appropriately bewildered throughout.
