Around the Fire

A film review by Christopher Null - Copyright © 2001 Filmcritic.com

Truly bad crap like this (the kind that pretends to have a social message) doesn't come along very often. The story of a boy (Devon Sawa) who ends up in drug rehab a la 28 Days, we are treated to a reenactment of his flameout, from experimenting with pot in prep school to becoming a full-blown drug dealer at Grateful Dead-like shows. Makes Reefer Madness look liberal by comparison.

Utterly stupid and insulting.
