- GoofsWhen the film shows us Tony Johnson, who was killed accidentally in a shooting at a fast food restaurant, he is playing a Game Boy, and the narrator tells us he was "seconds away from defeating Ganon" who is the recurring antagonist of the Legend of Zelda series. However, the only Legend of Zelda game available on the original Game Boy was Link's Awakening, which does not feature Ganon.

Featured review
Overrated
Now this is what I call a very overrated movie. I was going to give it a five star rating but because I liked some of the music I will give it a six star rating. Dope is okay to watch once nut don't expect too much of it. The storyline is just weak, with a lot of nonsense, things that would absolutely not happen in real life. And by that I mean that three nerds from Inglewood would never get away with the deal they were implicated in. They would instead or end dead or in the slammer. I don't know where to categorize this movie. It's not a comedy nor a crime story. Maybe a drama, with some wannabe cool notes, I don't know. The only thing I liked about it was the music, the rest is below average.
