This is entertaining in a "how did this get made?" sort of way. I think this was a lot of the cast and production crew's first film, but it's not terrible for a first film. Most of the sets looked like high school productions. The plot was weird and the dialogue was awkward and lacked subtlety. The acting was... well, the lead (Jonathan Readwin) was cast because he sort of looks like James Franco, and that's about all I can say about him. Sean Power tries way too hard to be a combination of Johnny Depp and Russell Brand, and doesn't pull it off. I will say this though - the shots of Amsterdam were beautiful, and the extensive use of gels gave the film a fun 80s fantasy feel. The cinematography was definitely the best part of the film. It looks like it was re-branded to look like a rip-off of Pineapple Express for American sales, and I don't think that was a good marketing move, even though that's kind of the reason I bought it. It's pretty much what I expected though. Overall, its a cheap and somewhat inept, but mildly interesting and unintentionally funny film. It at least holds your attention if you have an afternoon to waste.

The good kind of bad
Brilliant.
This is one of the funniest films since Cheech and Chongs Up In Snoke. Just simply hilarious and this comes from a guy who doesn't Smoke. This is a film that is just fun and goofy, however a rather good depiction of some of the stoners in the Netherlands. The characters are well thought out and portrayed to the extent that you really feel for them.
Dankest movie this year !
I thought this film was great! Was just expecting your usual comedy with not much of a story line but was pleasantly surprised, great shots of Amsterdam throughout which just made me want to go back and good performances from Eric Lampaert (loz) and Sean Power (mick) and a cameo from Mr Nice himself Howard Marks (RIP),Fantastic directorial debut from the Lennox brothers I look forward their future projects! all in all amstardam is a great film!
