One of the strangest stoner films you'll ever see. Directed by Creator/JonathanLevine, set in New York in 1994, full of BlackHumor and starring Creator/JoshPeck as a drug dealer who trades weed for therapy with his HippyTeacher. The usual stoner plot of getting rich quick to stop something bad from happening ensues, because his parents can't pay the mortgage. With his parents' divorce hanging constantly over Luke's head he has somewhat of a disconnected IronWoobie thing going on. [[ADateWithRosiePalms He also masturbates 5 times a day]]. Also has [[Creator/MaryKateAndAshleyOlsen Mary Kate Olsen]] in a cameo role.
