We heavily suggest that you read through the scene listings to determine if this movie is appropriate for your kids. Parents should be aware that teens will probably want to see this film (if they're fans of Shakur) and other than an early scene, it depicts drug use as enjoyable and funny at times. Nudity is limited to two shots of bare breasts and some sexual talk occurs but is also rather brief. When the characters aren't doing drugs, they're smoking like it's going out of style. Profanity is record setting (as of this review) with 225+ 'f' words and 80 's' words all occurring in 90 minutes. Drug use is extreme as the characters are seen shooting up, snorting cocaine, or smoking marijuana.

OUR WORD TO PARENTS: This movie is chock full of objectionable material. While some viewers will be turned off by the subject matter, for those who aren't offended they'll find an interesting and at times humorously enjoyable production. He may have had a bright future in Hollywood but now no one will ever know. While that turned out to be true in real life, it's a shame here because, regardless of the rap artist's controversial behavior, he does a fine job creating a memorable character. In a bit of prophetic irony, Shakur's character states in one scene that he feels like his time is running out. Actor Roth creates another edgy, dark character while the late Tupac Shakur is outstanding. Supported by director of photography Bill Pope (responsible for shooting the wildly inventive 'Bound'), this is a surprisingly fun film to watch. OUR TAKE: 6.5 out of 10 Despite the subject matter, this is an impressive directing debut by actor Vondie Curtis-Hall (who also plays the bad guy in this production). WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For graphic drug use, pervasive strong language, some violence and brief nudity.ĬAST AS ROLE MODELS: None of the characters are good role models. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? If they're fans of the late Tupac Shakur, they will. Thus Stretch and Spoon must avoid the thugs and the police as they try to enter the detox program. Meanwhile, the police believe that the two are responsible for the drug dealer's murder. Realizing that Stretch and Spoon have taken some of 'their drugs,' D-Reper and his henchman try to kill the two. During one of their visits to the dealer, though, they find that a local thug, D-Reper (VONDIE CURTIS-HALL) and his henchman (TOM TOWLES) have killed the dealer.

They encounter bureaucratic red tape, however, trying to get into a detox program and thus return to their drug dealer in the meantime. PLOT: Stretch (TIM ROTH) and Spoon (TUPAC SHAKUR) are two drug addicts who decide to go clean after a friend of theirs, Cookie (THANDIE NEWTON) goes into a drug-induced coma.

QUICK TAKE: Drama: Two drug addicts try to go clean while avoiding local thugs and the police.
