Marijuana

1968 · 24 min Documentary
4.4 / 10 · TMDB

Sonny Bono appears onscreen to tell kids that marijuana is a "bummer" that turns you into a "weedhead" and will make you "trip out" (the fact that, based upon his performance, Sonny appears to have ingested unknown substances before the cameras started rolling tends to limit the film's crediblity somewhat).

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its argument through blunt assertions and stereotypical depictions of altered states, relying heavily on the period's aesthetic. Its primary vehicle, however—the charismatic host—unintentionally works against the stated goal, rendering the cautionary tale a surreal spectacle.

What lingers after the viewing is a peculiar dissonance between message and messenger, leaving one to ponder the true intent behind this public service anomaly. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Max Miller

Best Watched

Best viewed with friends, ready to appreciate its unintentional camp value. A period piece of failed persuasion.
