Synopsis


Comedy superstar Dave Chappelle stars as goofy yet mellow slacker Thurgood Jenkins in this hilarious adventure of three lovable party buds trying to bail their friend out of jail. Calling on their previously untapped entrepreneurial spirit, the affable couch potatoes come up with a dubious business plan to raise $100,000 in two weeks. But when their scheme runs afoul of the law, everything comes dangerously close to going up in smoke! Meanwhile, Thurgood falls for the beautiful but straight-laced Mary Jane Potman, who forces him to choose between the two biggest loves of his life.
