GRASS ROOTS the MOVIE

“The Greatest Movie Yet To Be Seen”

Harry Knowles -aicn.com

Closely collaborating with the comic characters creator to produce an authentic adaption of a favourite Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers adventure

“Grass Roots”

“Gilbert Shelton is as near as comics have come to producing a natural comedic genius of the same stature as a Chaplin or a Tati. With the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers he has created a hilarious and unlikely sibling trio as timeless in their appeal as the Marx Brothers. He is truly one of the greatest and most sublimely funny talents that the comic medium has to offer.” – Alan Moore

“The amazing thing about Shelton’s definitive underground comic strips is that you can still turn on, tune in, drop out and laugh, which is fabulous and furry indeed.” – Martin Rowson, The Independent

“The fully realised vision of a master story-teller and social critic.” – The Comics Journal

“This isn't just some mildly amusing artifact of a bygone age. THE FABULOUS FURRY FREAK BROTHERS are amongst the funniest comic work ever written and drawn. I love Cheech & Chong, but they paled in comparison to THE FABULOUS FREAK BROTHERS - which was THE break-out comic characters of the Underground Era.  Gilbert Shelton's talent for humor is nearly unparalleled. And much of the humor doesn't revolve around just drugs, but their interaction with their sentient cat, a corrupt and hilarious government, friendship, poverty, laziness, desperation, facing reality and so many universals”. - Harry Knowles  AIn’t it cool news.

“Simply put, The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers is the Rosetta Stone (no pun intended) of “stoner” humor as we now understand the genre...”
