John Dies At The End - 2012 - 5/10
[Image: ok6fjd.jpg]
After taking a new drug, "soy sauce," two stoners stumble into the parallel world.
Clever film, but too wordy by far. Exposition delivers much of the plot.
Some genuinely funny moments, offset by strangeness.
All the leads are fine, effects OK. By the end, however, I was hearing Peggy Lee singing, "Is That All There Is?"
My expectations were too high after reading so much acclaim for this one.
If I caught this in a better mood, I might have given it a 6.
