Ripped

The preview for this movie was far superior to the actual movie. I am a huge fan of Russell Peters and Faizon Love but after 20 minutes of "Ripped", I was ready to for the movie to end.

As expected, the film spews dribble in the form of malicious stereotypes (i.e. potheads are dumb, have no real ambition, and so on). The film doesn't just push stereotypes on the audience, it obnoxiously smothers them with it.

This movie felt like a first draft submitted by a middle school paint- huffer that just discovered weed and the movie: Friday. The best thing about this movie is probably the soundtrack.

There isn't enough weed available to forget this tragedy.

When I sat down in 2021 to watch the 2017 comedy "Ripped" from writers Billiam Coronel and Brad Epstein, I have to say that I had never even heard about the movie. So all I knew about it was that it was a comedy and that it was a marijuana comedy of sorts from the synopsis. So I figured maybe it would be in the spirit of the good old classic "Cheech & Chong" movies.

And while "Ripped" was watchable, it just didn't really tickle me in the right places. The storyline was sort of a swing and a miss, falling short of being funny to my particular sense of humor. But I am sure that there is an audience out there for movies such as "Ripped".

The acting performances in the movie were adequate. And lead actors Faizon Love and Russell Peters carried the movie quite well with their performances. Of all the people in the movie, I think I was only familiar with Carlos Gómez.

For me, then "Ripped" wasn't much of an entertaining movie, and for a comedy it was frightfully devoid of funny moments. And I didn't even laugh once throughout the course of the movie. So it was a somewhat long 97 minutes to sit through.

My rating of "Ripped" lands on a generous, but less than mediocre four out of ten stars.

This was a pretty funny movie to watch! Your average stoner comedy with a good happy feel to it... totally worth it! It's funny to think how much time has changed and what it would be like to skip the regression of technology. it's been driving me crazy trying to find the song that played in the credits! It's amazing and I really wanna know what it is...any help would be much appreciated :)

I'm from an era of great smoker movies: the Friday series, How High, Harold and Kumar, Half Baked etc. It's been years watching a stoner movie, so this film came as a big surprise for me.

I'm a big fan of Russel Peters' stand up acts and I love Faizon Love movies, both are well established comedians on their own. Combining these 2 comedians with weed makes a good formula for a good time!

Of course it isn't as good as the movies I mentioned before, but who cares. Watch it without expectation, you'll be surprised how amusing it is and I wasn't even high myself watching it.

It's an alright entertaining flick, don't get too difficult about plots and characters, it's not the point in this film.

Utterly not worth watching. Peters was a bright comic and I thought I could expect some jokes from him, but he did not deliver. Most of the "comedy" is dumb and not funny. Watched about 20 minutes of the film, none of it was memorable. The script and the acting is painfully weak. Could have been a decent film if Peters said something funny once in a while. Alas, I do not remember a single intelligent and genuinely humorous line. Very weak film.
