I have great respect for this production as I am sure it could have been drawn out to a loose 90 minutes to fit a more familiar format, but it trimmed the fat in a wonderful way. It also has a surprising range, as it funny in many different shocking, cringey, self-aware, satiric and over-the top ways. Balanced, well-paced and plain fun.
It must be very difficult to conclude a short film like this in a truly satisfying way, and Tour de Pharmacy does not keep its best jokes for last, but even without a *trifecta* level climax, I can easily recommend this little film.
Tour de Pharmacy has some amazing actors here (Samberg, Bloom), is really short, and really funny too, there are some cool and sily (in a good way) jokes. I think I have to warning you: It's a trash movie, so go see it with this in mind, and I think that you will have a good time.
7,5/10
I'm buying a bike tomorrow just because Gustov Ditters was such a an amazing cyclist he had to be played by several actors.
Some dude in a fur coat and cowboy hat was in it, not sure what he did in real life, he was blacked out and couldn't tell who he was, maybe you can.
An explanation of the performance enhancing drugs was highly scientific. Coming away from it I feel I can work in a drug lab now.
OK, gotta go get on my bike now. Byyyyyyeeeee.

Stu Ruckman: In the autopsy, they found Juju was on EPO and cocaine, also some Insulin and Anabolic Steroids, Oxabolone, and, then Nandrolone, trace amounts of Norethandorlene and Furazabol. They even found some Heroin in his system. There was also Letrozole, Cyclazadone, some Estrogen Receptor Modulators, Raaloxifene and Tamoxifen, probably to ward off breast growth. A lot of Oxycodone in his blood. Phentermine, as well, Ortemamine, Bunolol, Lobatealol. Plus, apparently he had hopped Ethanol and taken a couple of MDAs. He clearly smoked some Crystal Meth and Crack and there was a Hormone from monkey testicles that he had cooked down into a broth that he drank. He also had apparently eaten at least one sandwich at Arby's.
