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.

I, Challenger always retains the kind of well-meaning brothers-under-the-herb optimism of the stoner genre, while being more imaginative than most. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 04/26/2022
2.5/5
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. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 04/11/2022

I, Challenger is a real surprise in the best possible way. Go to Full Review Josh Bell Crooked Marquee 02/09/2022

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. Go to Full Review Brian Costello Common Sense Media 01/25/2022
3/5
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. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Tom P 02/19/2023 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.
