Reefer Madness (2005) #1
I didnt see a thread anywhere for this movie so I opened one. Its my new obsession.
showtimes synopsis for Reefer madness: Inspired by the notorious 1936 anti-marijuana propaganda film, Showtime's first movie musical REEFER MADNESS is a tongue-in-cheek raucous musical comedy about clean-cut kids who fall into a twisted, hilarious downward spiral of reefer, sex and mayhem. One of the most complicated musicals filmed for television, the movie contains sixteen musical sequences and several complex large-scale dance numbers. And every member of the cast was proud to display their real singing voice. This screen version of the award-winning stage musical stars Kristen Bell ("Veronica Mars"), Christian Campbell, Neve Campbell ("Party of Five"), Tony Award-winner Alan Cumming ("Cabaret"), Ana Gasteyer ("Saturday Night Live"), John Kassir, Amy Spanger, Robert Torti and Steven Weber ("Wings"). Garnering strong critical acclaim for its off-Broadway run, the original Los Angeles production of REEFER MADNESS also took theatergoers by storm, sweeping the theatrical awards from the various L.A. critics groups and becoming one of the longest-running shows in Los Angeles history. The film REEFER MADNESS reunites the stage version's creative team. Directed by Andy Fickman from the screenplay by Kevin Murphy & Dan Studney based on their musical stage play, the three men also serve as the film's executive producers. Reefer Madness media CAST jimmy- christian cambell mary lane- kristen bell jack- steven webber mae -ana gasteyer ralph- john kassir sally Jesus. & The Lecture played by Alan Cummings.

Since I don't have Showtime I didn't get to see it, but it did look amusing. I'm sure they'll put it out on DVD and I'll check it out then. I found it fascinating that they based the story on the classic early feature. The original Reefer Madness is wonderful and strange.

Man, this movie is just the best. I love it. Comedy + Musical = Amazing. The actors are perfect in each their roles... and the songs are so catchy. Quote:

john, Im going to make jen watch the movie.
I love this part : jimmy and mary sining-we are just like romeo and julliet. Were happy, young and bubbling with love jimmy- I cant wait to read the ending mary- i can't either, but Im sure it turns out real swell. I bet romeo marries his juliet jimmy- they have a baby mary - and make lots of firends jimmy and mary- thats probley the way the play ends Im off to go watch it again. __________________
