The Message
Parents who use drugs have kids who use drugs.

The Setup
A 13-year-old boy is air-drumming in his room when he's deviously cornered by his unkempt old man carting a cigar box full of drugs. In the ensuing "father knows best" scenario," he's interrogated in short, terse tones by a father trying desperately to win him over with, uh, rationality.

The Verdict
Lame on all counts. The agent who decided it prudent to cast a mustachioed Ron Jeremy '70s-era porn star look-a-like to dole out an anti-drug tirade should have been fired on the spot. I guess this little number chose to overlook the theory that parents who smoke are in fact less likely to have children who smoke.
