ABSTRACT Larry "Doc" Sportello, Los Angeles private eye with a noted affinity for marijuana, is asked to help ex-girlfriend Shasta Fay Hepworth out of a sticky situation involving shady real-estate magnate boyfriend Mickey Wolfmann and an organization known as the Golden Fang. What follows is an unnerving, disjointed trip -- in a literal and metaphorical sense -- through the tail end of Southern California's "love"-obsessed psychedelic period as Doc sets out on a gonzo mission to sort out Shasta's ridiculous state of affairs. <table border=1 class="sortable bordered" id="sort_actors"> <tr><th>Name</th><th>Occupation</th><th>Birth</th><th>Death</th><th>Known for</th></tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/444/000352385/">Jeannie Berlin</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>1-Nov-1949</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Heartbreak Kid</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/395/000057224/">Josh Brolin</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>12-Feb-1968</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>No Country for Old Men</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/087/000026009/">Benicio Del Toro</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>19-Feb-1967</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Traffic</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/902/000112566/">Martin Donovan</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>19-Aug-1957</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Portrait of a Lady</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/628/000220965/">Sam Jaeger</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>29-Jan-1977</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Joel Graham on Parenthood</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/362/000050212/">Jena Malone</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>21-Nov-1984</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Saved!</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/182/000081936/">Joanna Newsom</a></td> <td><center>Musician</center></td> <td align=right><tt>18-Jan-1982</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>The Milk-Eyed Mender</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/898/000025823/">Joaquin Phoenix</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>28-Oct-1974</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Gladiator</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/099/000348052/">Sasha Pieterse</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>17-Feb-1996</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Alison DiLaurentis on Pretty Little Liars</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/452/000025377/">Eric Roberts</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>18-Apr-1956</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Restraining Order</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/394/000108070/">Maya Rudolph</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>27-Jul-1972</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Saturday Night Live</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/060/000024985/">Martin Short</a></td> <td><center>Comic</center></td> <td align=right><tt>26-Mar-1950</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>SNL and Primetime Glick</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/530/000044398/">Owen Wilson</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>18-Nov-1968</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Zoolander</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/people/813/000022747/">Reese Witherspoon</a></td> <td><center>Actor</center></td> <td align=right><tt>22-Mar-1976</tt></td> <td align=right><tt> </tt></td> <td>Legally Blonde</td> </tr> </table> REVIEWS<table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
