Welcome to Hollywood. 6-7 years too late. A true stoner movie probably won't get made for theaters in a long while. Oh wait Seth rogen has one coming out and we know it will perform well at the box office. Wonder what went wrong other then bad casting??
shareBad casting is that real last time i checked the actors played beautifully although the movie didn't do well in theaters it is duing well in itunes it was released one day and it is number 6 now
The reasons are
1. Low marketing
2. Wrong rating
3. Competition with 2 other R rated film
Whether they did well or not is debatable. What isn't, is that they couldn't get people in the seats for this movie. It was bad casting because they were a bad fit for the roles, the genre, etc. People clearly didn't want to see these two getting high and playing secret agent. And the movie seemed to have been marketed pretty heavily, from what I saw. I think a different, more fitting, cast would have made this movie more appealing to audiences.
shareJesse Eisenberg has made a career playing this type of character, so your bad casting comment doesn't actually make any sense.
shareAny time you see six production companies in the opening credits it's almost guaranteed you're about to see a really bad movie.
shareJal2358 Why would you laugh when YOU think this was a flop? Are you part of the competition or dislike Max Landis? Odd.
shareIn addition to the lead actor being terribly miscast and the lead actress standing around looking like bored kid stuck playing left field in a tee ball game, the plot and tone were all over the place. It seemed like the filmmakers took aspects of all their favorite genres and randomly lumped them all together into a poorly-balanced meandering mess.
