Humboldt County has one of the funniest tag lines around: "Where the grass is greener." Okay, okay, that's not so funny by itself, but if you know that movie is about -- a medical student who accidentally stumbles onto a huge hippie, pot-farming community -- it's suddenly very clever. Like Pineapple Express, this appears to be another pot movie that's not just for potheads. Said medical student, while smart enough to get into a great medical program, is sweetly naïve. He thinks Fairuza Balk is a prostitute because she wants to sleep with him. He has big, deer-in-the-headlights eyes (the trailer even zooms in on them at one point) at the pot farm, because, hello?! Pot farm. He is so out of his element, which is what will make this movie awesome. Also, I don't know who this Jeremy Strong guy is (maybe because it's his first movie), but he has the most perfect sweetness to him that makes this concept work. And Frances Conroy looks to be at her whacked-out best, just like back in the hey-day of Six Feet Under. So, yeah, I'm sold. Reviews By People Who've Actually Seen It:
