After watching this, I know that Nick opened a dispensary, Nick has lower prices, and Nick is a nice guy. Somehow these three things make him a pioneer I'm supposed to be grateful for.

The director was at my screening and he said that we should be grateful for all Nick's efforts in legislation, but I don't know why because they didn't think it was worth including. I don't know how he participated in the legalization efforts. I feel like I SHOULD know this after watching a documentary specifically about him, but I don't. Opening one of the first dispensaries because you won a lottery doesn't quite qualify for pioneer status.

What was opening one of the first dispensaries like? What were his challenges? Surely the legal hurdles were extraordinary, but I know nothing about what he went through. But I know he sells $10 grams. Apparently that's the only important part of his business.

I also don't know why there was so much gratuitous footage of Tommy Chong. He apparently did a signing at their dispensary once with Cheech Marin. Somehow this warranted a guesstimated total of 5 minutes of footage of him (actually it's only about 30 seconds of footage, just inserted every few minutes as a reminder of....what, I have no idea. Nick should be trusted because Tommy likes him? Your guess is as good as mine). If Tommy Chong contributed more than a signing event, again, somehow those details weren't important in this "documentary".

Even the discussions regarding how beneficial MMJ is were afterthoughts to repeatedly telling me how nice Nick is. Included is one really long story of a woman's tragically extensive medical issues, which after detailing thoroughly, ended with "so yeah I can't take opioids, so MMJ is a lifesaver". Nothing about how it helps her, her regimen, or any details at all.

One person briefly mentions working with addicts and how MMJ helps them. Again, no details on how, why, etc.

This "documentary" has zero focus and absolutely no information worthy of devoting viewing time. I was really excited about seeing a documentary on this topic and I was so disappointed that it amounted to an Infomercial for his dispensary instead of an actual documentary.

This screened at the International Horror and Sci Fi Film Festival portion of the Phoenix Film Festival in April. It was a completely sold out show, and as far as I know, everyone left raving about this film.

I admit, reading the plot I was really reluctant to see this movie. I tend not to enjoy horror comedies and I had no idea how a living room cardboard fort was going to capture my attention. Within the first 5 minutes, I was proved completely wrong. This movie was not only hilarious, it was also one of the more creative movies I've ever seen.

Don't watch the trailer, just go in and experience this movie and enjoy the ride. You will not regret it.

I saw this at the Phoenix Film Festival. I'd say this is tied for my favourite horror movie from that festival (with Eyes of my Mother...also amazing).

Ghost movies are really the only horror films that stand of chance of scaring me these days. There were a few times during this film that I was completely tense, and a few times, absolutely on the verge of terror as to what was going to happen next. The film was just so well done in terms of pacing.

Unfortunately, ghost movies also suffer from poor endings, quite frequently. This ending was better than most, but something about it didn't sit right with me, and that's all I'll say to prevent spoilers. You may disagree entirely. I'm a tough one on endings.

I really hope this gets a wide distribution, because if you're at all a fan of ghost movies, this movie is just fantastic. A definite must see!
