Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

If you were thinking "hey, this looks like a funny stoner flick!" it's not. It's not funny but it's not quite dramatic either. Neither of the main characters is particularly believable in their role. If you are a smoker, you probably will not identify with any of this. If you're thinking "high maintenance" then yeah, save yourself the time. Again, not a stoner movie and not a comedy. It's kind of a (mediocre) RomComDram I guess? Shallow scripting and lots of emotional music forced at awkward times to try to create a dramatic moment when the situation doesn't call for it. It took me half the movie to realize that it's trying to be serious and not lighthearted/funny. I guess that's my bad for assuming it was going to be a light stoner movie. It has Alexandra Daddario though, so there's that. (She was better in that one "Always Sunny" episode)

please be aware this review may contain mild spoilers, but nothing too specific*Baked in Brooklyn is the story of David (Josh Brener). Recently fired from his paid intern job, David needs money and he needs it fast. With no immediate prospects David turns to dealing marijuana on the streets of Brooklyn.The big bucks soon come rolling in for David but as his new business grows, so to does his anxiety. As small confrontations take their toll on David's confidence, he begins to neglect relationships with the people in his life. Can David pull himself together and make it out of his self inflicted mess, or will the life of a drug dealer swallow him whole?

I don't write reviews for movies very often and I am very critical about what I spend my time watching. With so many options available, if a movie doesn't pull me in within the first 5 to 10 minutes then I'm looking for something else. The first 60 seconds of this movie was questionable for me but I was sold before the 3 minute mark and was fully engaged from that point on (I'm not afraid to stop movies mid-stream if they get stupid).The story line flowed nicely, the acting talent was grade A, and the chemistry between Brener and Daddario was definitely above average.I found it thoroughly entertaining and the type of movie that I'd watch again soon with someone on a movie date (a rarity for me).

So if the original season of high maintenance made a movie, this would be it. We have David who's basically just a nine to fiver who loses his job and at near the same time he meets Kate. She's amazing and they start to connect and then they both kind of fall into a not having money or income situation, resulting in him becoming or attempting to be a pot dealer. He's just the type of person who's really not cut out for being one which is obvious even before he starts, but once he gets going it's glaringly clear. And from that point it's a combination of how to be the worlds worst pot dealer, how to be a pill junkie, and how to make your life fall apart in 10 steps or less. 6/10 it's not an original story by any stretch but it is captivating in it's own bizarre way, kind of like a wreck, you know it's coming but you just can't look away. Also the acting is on point here.
