Movie Info
The made-for-cable musical satire Reefer Madness is based on the award-winning play of the same name, which in turn was inspired by the notorious -- and deliciously awful -- 1936 anti-marijuana film originally titled Tell Your Children. A smarmy lecturer (Alan Cumming in the first of his three roles in the film) arrives in a typical small town of the late '30s to warn the populace of the dangers of the "evil weed," bringing along a lurid propaganda film to dramatize his message.

A film you can only appreciate if you view it as pure camp, or make a drinking game out of spotting cliched expressions of mental illness
Even if you hate musical theater -- or maybe especially if you do -- you might want to check out this very silly satire...
Maybe a few bong hits would make this thing funnier.

[font=Century Gothic][color=#0000ff]Surprisingly, "Reefer Madness" turned out to be a very enjoyable movie musical with catchy tunes and great dance routines. It is a rather enjoyable romp. [/color][/font]
