Heavy Times (2011)

Three friends who are going nowhere with their lives drop in on a relative for dinner and end up on a madcap adventure with crazy Uncle Rick, a foul-mouthed, drunken slob of a monster. He kidnaps them all and attempts to take them to Montreal (?), while a couple escape and end up in the clutches of the even crazier new age headtrip, Gunther. It's not half as amusing as it sounds and it gets old rather quickly. The only saving grace is that the character of Uncle Rick is so over the top, you have to pause and admire the actor for exactly how despicable he manages to make himself out to be.
