Although the film begins promisingly with many amusing moments... it eventually degenerates into all-too-familiar territory.

Brown's performance as Norman goes deep enough to penetrate his protective bluster: There's more Max Fischer in him than Tony Montana. He's the reason this convincing pro-legalization editorial is also a memorable coming-of-age story.

Rated: 3.5/5

There's not one thing you can't see coming at every turn. Still, an enjoyable story about transgressive youth, crime and high times.

This being based on a true story is what makes it good. Kind of like War Dogs were some younger guys get in over their head. The voice over is always part of the recipe for these movies.
