    Keep Calm And Stay High

    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.

    fun. definitely under-rated.

    From the lennox brothers. An adventure in amsterdam. In the united states, it's called stoner express. In europe, it's "amstardam". Jack has never known who his father is. On his 21st birthday, he finds things out. Off to amsterdam, where he meets the beautiful desiree. (eline powell is or was dating lee lennox, one of the directors.) unfortunately, desiree is the neice of eddie. Who happens to be... his father's biggest competitor. The first half of this is just magical and fun. About halfway through, it becomes much more ordinary. And comes down to a contest between the two businessman. Will he win over desiree? The contest is similar to revenge of the nerds between the lamdas and the alphas, or whatever they were. The film is a lot of fun. I'm guessing the low rating on imdb is due to the subject matter; it does take place in amsterdam where drug use is much more prevalent. Fun appearance by howard marks, also known as mister nice. He was a drug smuggler for many years, who worked with gangs of many countries to bring drugs into the united states and europe. Unfortunately, he died april of 2016, before this film was released. Mark's smuggling years were mainly in the 1970s and 1980s, before most of the viewers here were even born. For this reason, i fear the younger viewers weren't able to see the humor of howard marks' role. Some quirky characters, in wacky situations. It's actually rather fun, but loses some momentum near the end. Also some bathroom humor (literally) probably turned some people off. Stick around for outtakes during the closing credits.

    Brilliant.

    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.

    Silly, Stupid, Stoner Flick!

    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...

    Watermelon Sized Buds!

    A British fantasy comedy done as a variant of Jack And The Beanstalk. A young man heads to Amsterdam to find his father who runs a surf themed smoke shop. After finding his father he finds out his shop is failing due to the shop across the road that takes all the business with their green giant theme. The young man ends up meeting a mysterious homeless man who gives him a magic seed. The seed ends up in the toilet and the next day a massive pot tree takes up the whole store with buds the size of pumpkins. This puts him back in business but soon has the competing store plotting on how to steal the bud and enter it into the Amsterdam Bowl.

    This is a light stoner flick mixed with a bit of Time Bandits and Jack The Giant Slayer type themes. It is watchable (better if you're high yourself) and you will laugh a few times. Not for kids though as there is constant joint smoking and coarse language (joint smoking is hard on the throat). All in all not bad and they even throw in a few minutes of animation. There was even a moral or two but I can't remember.
