Fun but misses some of the serious side
There’s a lot of fun to be had watching this documentary, mainly from the wacky tales recounted by fairly well known celebrities and the way they’re retold (silly cartoons or acted out by other known celebrities). This is definitely not a serious documentary warning you of the dangers of drugs, it’s more just a light hearted entertaining look at celebrity experiences of LSD. And it definitely is funny. There’s a lot of times I laughed out loud watching this, mainly at the sheer bizarreness of it all. You can tell as well that they’ve obviously spent a lot of money on the production of this film, as there’s a lot of big name stars in this and it looks like a very slick production.
The problem is that this film almost seems to be highlighting the benefits or the fun side of taking these drugs. There are some scientific explanations and some talk about negative side effects, but they almost seem to be pushed to one side in favour of telling the humorous side. And this is what this film is lacking, that “drugs are bad” spiel to at least provide a more balanced view.

This book talks about a lot of important topics that are sometimes intensely emotional. Charlie is a very well thought out character written beautifully. However, book constantly reference music or movies that are cult classics. It gets annoying.

Great sci-fi show. It has a lot of great characters and the story is interesting. The science aspect of it is very cool and the action scenes are great. The villains are great as well. Overall, it makes for a great show.

The girls continue to bring you pop songs, for everybody. (1 more)
It has the lot, ballads, big pop tunes with themes from breaking up and then the preverbal make up tracks. All in all, a chart orientated pop album.
Pure popness from this quartet.

Standard comedy
After seeing the trailer I thought this would be a lot funnier. It's ok with a good cast, it does have a bit of a soppy ending, but there are some very funny scenes between the littles and the bigs!
