if this be the author and director idea of a slice of life and they be clinically manic depressive . a sad and moody film at best and with ubiquitously aimless and unhappy character who negatively interact with disastrous result . this film be bill a a comedy . what be so funny about lose your home to an allegedly premeditated arson or the drug induce and forcible rape of one of the main character . be this art imitate life . jack black be mildly amusing a the mountain man and weed farmer . however and even this segment of the film be rife with pathos . what be the point of living in the middle of nowhere with an entourage . if black character be so paranoid and why be he do acid with a group of people right out of woodstock . be there no end to disconnect relationship and a plot less script and and scene transition lack any cohesiveness or logical chronology .
