Sid, a perennial kid who spends his days playing video games and selling weed, is about to be evicted. Desperate to change his life, he enlists his gaming buddy Logan in a dangerous, harebrained scheme involving the livestream of a self-burial video. Despite a near-death experience when the self-burial misfires, it seems Sid's luck is finally on the upswing, with a financial windfall -- and even a romance -- in his future.

Guardian

I, Challenger always retains the kind of well-meaning brothers-under-the-herb optimism of the stoner genre, while being more imaginative than most.

Rated: 3/5

Shadows on the Wall

This movie is slow-paced and awkwardly structured, as if written in the same state of inebriation as the characters. But there's a certain gently loping charm.

Rated: 2.5/5

I, Challenger is a real surprise in the best possible way.

Crooked Marquee

Like its perpetually baked main character, this stoner comedy has trouble figuring out a direction, with a plot that lurches haphazardly in various directions before settling on an incongruously high-stakes set piece for its final act.

Rated: C

Was all the meandering worth it? Mostly yes, but like all the other movies where marijuana is central to the story, the enjoyment of the movie mostly depends on how much one enjoys tales about drugs.

Rated: 3/5

This movie was definitely worth the watch, only if you can handle being in your toes with anxiety through half of it! By the end tho it's definitely worth the watch and anxiety and screaming at the screen😂

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Another surprise movie. Cleverly written and a good edge of your seat movie. The lack of high production is made up with a compelling story. James Duvall was awesome.
