I've wanted to watch this movie from a long time. Only knowing that it has a lot of "greenery" in it. Thoroughly enjoyed the movie with lots of laughs. Amazing score and lovely shots of Amsterdam itself. Highly recommended if you are up for some feel good comedy gold. The fairy tail twist adds a heartwarming effect to 'a stoner movie. It is an awesome way to tie in a nice love story. The plot was fun and enjoyable. I have never seen anything like this movie, The movie is very original and I enjoyed the wit of it, excellent stoner comedy made from A to Z to be enjoyed high, and it is enjoyable. I saw it 6 times with different friends each time and every single person absolutely loved it.
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.

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.
If you love Stoner movies you'll enjoy it, if you don't... you probably wont :) Its stupid, childish and tacky... and I enjoyed the hell out of it. If you've ever been to Amsterdam and got stoned you'll get all the in jokes. Probably longer than it needed to be, but its low budget excuses most of the issues with editing and production. Acting is a little wooden, and the 'bad guy' reminded me more of a gangster leprechaun, but the supporting cast keep the laughs coming and the dwarfs... evil dwarfs.
Fantastic to see Howard Marks give his final performance on screen (RIP Howard we miss you!).
*note: Amsterdam Coffeeshops aren't really like this but never mind its fun! Non stoners probably shouldn't bother though...

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.
