    • Trivia
      Jeffrey Dean Morgan was cast as Henry Herschel but left due to scheduling conflicts. He was replaced by Jason Sudeikis.
    • Goofs
      Henry tries to cook with pot by adding buds to a soup. Cooking in this way would make you sick, not high. The THC has to be extracted from the weed (usually by simmering in butter then cooled, which can then be used to cook with). The way Henry uses it, the THC would cook away, and then remaining plant material would be bitter enough to make him sick.
    • Quotes

      The Girl: [narrating] Some people try to hold on to their memories. Others try to forget. Neither works. And after enough time passes by, you find you ain't the same as you used to be.

    Sensitive and delicate journey...

    That sweet and melancholic film, wrapped in sentimental madness, insane ideas and crazy behaviors, but this is how life should be lived, intensely crazy, with its magenta sneakers, its rafts in the air, towards the unexpected and adverse ... This film does more that entertains us, makes us reflect on life, and think about the people we love, a beautiful, sensitive and delicate journey... "A survey states that 67% of people die when no one is looking ... What I haven't discovered is how many people live while no one is looking "
