Absolutely horrible! I can't believe this movie was ever thought up, let alone made, released, and put in video stores. All it is are two guys who take a trip to Vegas to cover a Baja race, and then take many other trips once they get there (and on the way there). This movie has more drugs than you can shake a syringe at. But, unlike "Trainspotting," where the emphasis is on heroine, "Fear and Loathing" focuses on almost everything but. Take the peyote scene from "Young Guns II," all the weed from "Still Smokin'," a few trashed hotel rooms (a la men's Olympic hockey team '98), and remove all evidence of a plot, and BAM! The trippiest trip ever taken.

Don't get me wrong here -- it IS a horrible movie -- but if you watch it for the stoned, drunken debauchery of it all, and not for the plot, you just might like it. I was mad after I saw it the first time, because I thought I had paid for something intelligent like "Donnie Brasco." Wrong. Just people turning into lizards, bats in the hot Nevada sun, a 16 year old girl, and one reallly paranoid Johnny Depp. See it for yourself.
