Sophia Aragon Most documentaries nowadays have excellent production value. This one is no different. It makes its point eloquently with appealing footage and (political) arguments all sautéed in an emotionally-rich sauce. It's effective if manipulative.The message is controversial. It is outside, way outside, the mainstream understanding of drugs, its effects (medical and recreational), and its politics. Granted, public understanding of drugs is essentially zero and any form of knowledge, no matter how trivial, necessarily surpasses the official, infantile message of "evilness".However, it is a mistake to think this is an educational documentary or that it is a documentary that will teach you anything relevant about any of the topics allegedly addressed. It is just (political) entertainment that will find fertile ground among a certain clique.

janice-craft This film can only be surprised as a unique surprise that captivated my attention from start to finish. How to make money selling drugs is not just a documentary on the war on drugs, but a powerful portrayal of actual people that spin off the screen and permeate our thoughts on a prevalently discussed topic. Regardless of the person being interviewed, we see deeply into each person's story - their "importance" in the drug world is all equal in terms of the connection you get to each story.But the film is not just introspective and thought provoking, it is funny, witty and entertaining in a way that I don't often find.Bravo!

lilly-turtle This documentary really blew me away. It was funny, entertaining and informative. The message totally hits home and the film does so in such an effective way.My favorite part of the film was definitely the way that the story was told. The ten steps were executed flawlessly with such incredible talent. To have such a great mix of celebrities with actual drug king pins really heightens the experience and made me feel like this topic touches such a wide breadth of people.I also kept thinking about the film long after I left the screening. To me, this is a real sign of a great film.

art-samuels I am not a big documentary film watcher, but this movie is the exception to my rule. It was bold, exciting, entertaining and thought provoking. It's a subject matter that anyone can be intrigued by and I certainly was. First of all, the pace and tempo of the movie was incredible. Second, the talent is ridiculous to watch. Seeing actors that I don't think of as speaking out about the subject matter and doing it in such a candid way was fascinating to me. But besides these two things, hearing real accounts of people that went from street dealers to drug lords is sick to both watch and hear about. It's really different from a lot of the usual stuff I've seen on TV or in movies before. I would 100% recommend this film to anyone and I would even see it again.
