I've seen some pretty trippy movies in my day but this is the new king. I'm glad i saw this for the first time while pretty loaded myself. So it all came into view. I have new born respect for Del Toro and Depp. They pull off the modern day version of Abbott and Costello. Both feeding off each others wastedness... Though not a straight out comedy by any sense, I haven't laughed this hard watching a movie in years. Countless crazy scenes, from that lizard bar shot, to the bathtub scene with Del Toro nearly frying himself. Even the end shots with the convertable top all mangled to bits and them driving around i was laughing my arse off. Like reviewers before me stated. You either don't get it and hate this movie. Or its a classic, Wasted road trip and its a blast going along for the ride with these guys. Hunter Thompson, if we only got to know you.
