Andy Webster, New York Times: MODERATE "...competent... enlightenment isn't as evident here as much as a woozy weariness, perhaps a long-term byproduct of being very, very stoned."(See all of Andy Webster's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 243 words, 03/15/13
Miriam Bale, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "...a surprisingly moving story, particularly in Snoop's reactions to the deaths of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur."(See all of Miriam Bale's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 147 words, 03/15/13
Mikael Wood, Los Angeles Times: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "In its simplest moments, the film presents an honesty that is its own reward. It shows us an old Dogg with no tricks."(See all of Mikael Wood's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 454 words, 03/15/13
Odie Henderson, Chicago Sun-Times: MODERATE(cg) "...shines when it focuses on comparisons between the birthplaces of the two sides of Calvin Broadus....

Bruce DeMara, Toronto Star: GOOD (NOT GREAT)(cg) "The whole thing does feel like a self-indulgent exercise on the part of Snoop, though he remains an artist of undeniable substance. In this case, a controlled substance."(See all of Bruce DeMara's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 512 words, 03/15/13
Liam Lacey, Toronto Globe & Mail: VERY GOOD(cg) "...entertaining.... There are enough blunts, spliffs, bowls, sacks and fields of primo ganja on display here to induce a sustained visual contact high."(See all of Liam Lacey's reviews...)(Read the full review...) 411 words, 03/15/13
Radheyan Simonpillai, Toronto Now: EXCELLENT(cg) "...heartfelt and endearing.... With a legacy forever haunted by Death Row, Snoop is looking to reggae for something positive to leave behind.
