(Flash Review)
This movie falls into a unique place as an atypical movie with pot as the main theme while not being a stupid high school comedy. It takes a more mature tone with comedic bits tossed it that don't register more than a half smirk. Basically, an immigrant boy is looking for a 'real' job as he deals drugs on the side. Believe it or not he accidentally spills a bunch of cannabis into one of the batches of dough and it sells like potcakes, whooops 'hotcakes'. Haha The bakery owner has no clue and is loving his increased business. How long will this continue and will anyone find out and unveil the truth. This story is pretty original so it is a shame the movie telegraphs ever move and is highly predicable, especially since it is more drama than goofy comedy. The production value felt like it was TV quality with very bland cinematography. Religion is a main theme as the owner is Jewish and the boy is Muslim and is quite nice how the two respects each other while jabbing each other on certain points. Overall, this could have been stronger if it gave itself a true personality.
