Though "Freebird" may prove a worthwhile ride for its motorcycling trio of middle-aged screw-ups, it's a bad trip for anyone stuck watching this tedious drug comedy. Writer-director Jon Ivay clearly understands the stoner mind-set, but a lack of fully realized characters, focused interactions and strong (read: entertaining) set pieces drives the first-time filmmaker smack into a series of typical road movie potholes.
The plot, such as it is, involves three offbeat London friends -- Fred (Gary Stretch), Tyg (Geoff Bell) and Grouch (Phil Daniels) -- who rev up for a high time out in the Welsh countryside in search of an elusive old hippie and his marijuana farm. Why they're trying to find him, what they do en route and what happens when they do find him are all rather beside the point, as is the biker war wedged in for some toothless conflict. Unfortunately, Fred, Tyg and Grouch are so randomly sketched it's impossible to invest in their allegedly life-changing journey.
