Ed Norton is one of the most consistently awesome actors out there. Sometimes a movie he's in can suck, but more times than not his performances are always worthwhile. When he's in a movie that clicks, it's normally something special. "Fight Club", "American History X", and a slew of others have seen this happen. His performance was on, the other actors did well, and the production worked. So that happens here. The supporting cast did great and the production was perfect for the tone of the movie. The only difference here is that you multiple the Ed Norton by two. It's not a easy Eddie Murphy thing where he plays two cartoony characters, he actually takes on two souls. One is a straight laced book type and the other is a backwoods weed growing type. Once you get past the comedic side of the personality of the weed growing twin, you realize his story is much more interesting than the professor twins. I really don't want to get too far into the plot because I think going into this with a clear perception is key. It's not a laugh a minute weed comedy AT ALL. It's a smart little independent-vibed project with all the greatness that is film. It's not perfect, but it's still one of the best movies I've seen in a while. Ed Norton deserves a mantle of awards for this one. See it! See it now!
