4/20

"4/20" the latest release that unmistakably falls into the bubble gum weed genre, is a playful romp that defies the typical conventions of stoner comedies by infusing them with a vibrant, almost cartoonish energy. The film offers a delightful escape into a world where absurdity reigns and laughter is a constant companion, making it a uplifting experience, albeit not without its flaws.

From the outset, the film establishes its playful yet frantic tone, reminiscent of an animated feature brought to life with a spectacular, colorful palette. The vibrant cinematography not only captures the whimsical essence of the story but also accentuates the ludicrous situations that unfold. Each shot feels meticulously planned, showcasing a blend of fluid camera movements and dynamic angles that keep you engaged, as if you're flipping through the pages of a comic book. This visual styling creates an air of spontaneity, making every punchline feel like a visual gag waiting to pop.

The casting is a chef's kiss, bringing together accomplished actors from major films and television shows who revel in this nostalgic atmosphere. Watching the likes of seasoned performers embrace their quirky roles adds an extra layer of charisma to the film. Each character is a delightful caricature, skillfully brought to life, resulting in a cast that feels fresh-not just because of their star status but due to their infectious chemistry.

I found 4/20 on Tubi TV when trying to find 4/20 related shows and movies to play at work during our 4/20 sales weekend.

It's a hidden gem about a struggling dispensary, friendships, and relationships of the staff and several members of the local community.

It's not the pinnacle of cinema but it is a heartwarming movie about a community helping their dispensary. Please don't skip over this movie. It's worth the watch and should have been promoted more.

I even had customers stick around to watch it instead of continuing on with their errands, so we made a time of it by popping some popcorn and raiding the store munchie bar.

Seriously, this movie should have had some advertising and promotion. It's a sleeper of a gem that deserves more.
