About this movie

When their friend Cookie o.d.'s, best buddies and musicians Spoon (Tupac Shakur) and Stretch (Tim Roth) decide it's time to kick their drug habit by putting themselves into detox. But they soon discover that the road to rehab is paved with reams of social service red tape. Spoon and Stretch are just trying to stay alive until they can get treatment. But, between the angry drug dealers, the cops who have mistaken them for murderers, and the people with forms and clipboards, this turns into a task of epic proportions. Thus enfolds their comic adventure to sobriety -- a hilarious, action-packed journey from A to Z and back again. (Original Title - Gridlock'd) - 1996 Interscope Communications, Inc.

Ratings and reviews

Truly abysmal. Written by someone with no ear for dialogue, or sense of what works dramatically. It's like a ten year old tried to write a junky movie. Comparing this film to Trainspotting, would be like comparing 2001 a Space Odyssey to Plan 9 from Outer Space.

The movie left me wondering what the point was, the plot (if that's what you'd call it) has no direction or point. Arguably a movie made purely off the back of its cast and nothing more.
