AmStarDam

This is the Brothers Grimm, if they were on pot. Lots and lots of pot. Fitting I saw it in Germany this week but its under another title here in EU (Amsterdam?) I adored it. It is crazy. Admittedly I am a fan of Billy Boyd and wanted to see more of him, and with his crazy Scottish accent, he stole the film. Beautifully shot in Amsterdam which makes the city a character of sorts. The plot was fun, once I accepted I was in fairy tale and enjoyed the good knight battling evil for the princess cliché. But primarily its a comedy. Well a trip. Well a stoner comedy. Im not sure what it is actually- -It is definitely a trip, with references to every fairy tale imaginable. Would recommend for the whole family if it wasn't for all the drug taking. Can say I haven't seen anything like it since - well the 80s heydays. Had to review it as a non-smoker. Well mostly. But two big thumbs up. Original.

The main theme of Stoner Express aka AmStarDam is weed. The actor, actress, script writer, director, crew everyone was high when they are making this movie. That is why they enjoyed making the film and did not care what are they making. So if you decide to watch the movie then make sure that you are also high when you are watching the film.

It is a typical average film. The story is predictable, and there was nothing unique about the script. And also there was no twist or surprise in the plot. Although it is a comedy movie but there was not much comedy in it that you can laugh at.

Overall acting is also average. Eline Powell looked so cute and beautiful in it but her performance was not very good in the film.

To sum it up, not recommended. But if you are high already, then go watch the film, you might enjoy it.

Whether you're a stoner or not, Amstardam The Movie/Stoner Express is funny regardless. Can't fault the production or actors and the locations looked amazing.

Best performances have to go to Kenneth Collard (Eddie) and Eric Lampaert (Loz) as both were hilarious. The narrative has that 'Jack and the beanstalk' (or 'greenstalk') feel to it which was a nice touch and it was great to see the legend Howard Marks appear at the end too (R.I.P) for the Amstardam cup.

It's good to see a well made British stoner film with a decent score, something that is quite hard to come by! Oh and the 'powerpuff girls' inspired animation looked excellent too...

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.

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.
