Weed. Weed. Weed. This movie and the whole series was clearly written by potheads. No wonder they picked James Franco for this movie. Actually, I take that back, I’m thinking acid or something harder.
The plot is that Oz is a circus magician, gets caught in a tornado and he winds up in Oz – yes, Oz goes to Oz. Not to be confused with the prison show from HBO, that one was a little less family friendly, with all the shanking and man on man action. Somewhere, a lunatic is running into a funnel cloud naked hoping he goes to magic world, then he gets ripped to pieces. Anyways, he hits on a witch, then she gets mad when he doesn’t instantly marry her and turns green. Reminds me of an ex-girlfriend.
Oz is just a con artist, but uses his tricks to convince everyone he’s legit. In other words, he’s a congressman. As this movie goes on, I don’t know how the word midget is offensive, but munchkin is fine. Seems a little off. He uses his BS skills and saves the day. In total, I give it a five out of ten if you’re coherent and an eight if you’re under the influence. To be fair, just about everything gets an eight if you’re under the influence. I have fun at Target after nine beers.
