"Tour de Pharmacy" is a 39-minute live action movie that premiered only a couple days ago, so it is obviously from this year (2017). The cast includes many many big names and even if most of them only have a scene or too, it is somewhat refreshing to see all these famous faces. I will not give a total list, bit let me just say I liked Rashad, Hamm, Bacon, Forte, Goldblum and some others. I do not like Samberg, Rudolph and Bloom (even if he is better than usual). Oh yeah, and Mike Tyson was pretty hilarious explaining to us how he entered the world of boxing with a memorable connection to cycling. Still if you really want to watch something informative about the subject of substance abuse in the professional sport of cycling, then this is not the one to watch. Let me tell you this as somebody who really has a strong interest in the sport of cycling. It is only worth seeing for some of the comedic stuff, even if obviously not all of it is working. Director is Jake Szymanski and writer is Murray Miller and these two already collaborated on a similar mockumentary not too long ago with the focus on tennis back then. I would say that this one here is by no means as good as the one on tennis, which was actually one of the best films under 45 minutes of its respective year. This one probably is not, but it still offers some fairly funny sequences and writing. I think it gets better the longer it goes and overall I give it a thumbs-up. Go check it out, especially for the scenes with lance Armstrong that stayed incredibly entertaining until the very end and never got repetitive, even if it somewhat was the same joke over and over again. I honestly would like to see him in acting.

Tour de Pharmacy, also known in the UK as Pharmacy Road is an Andy Samberg mocumentary that follows up Seven Days in Hell. This time in his cross hairs is the subject of cycling. More specifically the glory days of drugs induced cyclists in the Tour de France in 1982.
Due to bribery issues that year the race was whittled down to just 5 riders as they were too stingy to help out the chief administrator with his credit card debts. Even then the remaining five were on some kind of drugs. One was a cheetah, another was a woman (on drugs),there was even a white Nigerian, he certainly had to be on drugs.
Lance Armstrong appears to provide a certificate of authenticity, well who knows more about drugs and cycling than him.

It's funny because so many cyclists are drug cheats in fact probably most of them
