Movie Description A spectacular musical made for Showtime, and based on the most infamous propaganda film ever, REEFER MADNESS is a hilarious, campy extravaganza with glorious performances turned in by an all-star cast. A straitlaced youth, Jimmy Harper (Christian Campbell), is seduced by the irresistible new drug, marijuana, and soon his girlfriend, Mary (Kristin Bell), proves equally unable to withstand its lure. While Jimmy starts down a path of crime and murder, Mary taps into her debaucherous side, and develops an insatiable sexual appetite. Stunning costumes and dance sequences are accompanied by witty dialogue in a staging that is as irresistible as the drug itself. Co-starring are Neve Campbell (SCREAM), Alan Cumming (X-2), Steven Weber (TIMECODE), and Ana Gasteyer (SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE, MEAN GIRLS).
Industry Reviews "[A] charcoal-black comedy, a winking update of 1936's celluloid sermon and the reincarnation of a frill-free stage show....The cast can sure carry a tune." -- Grade: A Entertainment Weekly - Alissa Cohen (11/11/2005)
