    Stoner Express!

    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.

    Dankest movie this year !

    I thought this film was great! Was just expecting your usual comedy with not much of a story line but was pleasantly surprised, great shots of Amsterdam throughout which just made me want to go back and good performances from Eric Lampaert (loz) and Sean Power (mick) and a cameo from Mr Nice himself Howard Marks (RIP), Fantastic directorial debut from the Lennox brothers I look forward their future projects! all in all amstardam is a great film!

    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.

    The good kind of bad

    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.

    Silly, juvenile, tacky and a shed load of fun!

    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...
