Should have left it on the store shelf

This was tagged and shelved as a comedy, but someone forgot that a comedy was supposed to make you laugh. And someone likewise forgot that any movie was supposed to have a point. Achingly boring film about a group of pot growers trying to harvest and sell their boss' dope after he is mysteriously assassinated. If you have ever seen even one caper film, in which a group of shlubs come into a substantial amount of ill-gotten money, you can pretty well guess how this one turns out.

I managed not to fall asleep during the film, but it was close. Interesting but pointless performances by the major actors and really pointless cameos by John Luthgow, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ted Danson, a lot of beautiful homes on the California coast, some gorgeous bud, yeah, but a point?
