The Netflix Movie Pick of the Week is Dope, starring Shameik Moore as a kid from a poor neighborhood in California and must avoid temptations to get into Harvard.

Dope was written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, produced by Forest Whitaker, executive produced by Pharrell Williams, and co-executive produced by Sean Combs and stars Shameik Moore, Tony Revolori, Kiersey Clemons, Kimberly Elise, Chanel Iman, Tyga, Blake Anderson, Zoë Kravitz, and A$AP Rocky.

The main character is Malcolm (Moore) who is in a punk rock band with his friends and a straigh A student who aced his SAT and wants to go to Harvard. He’s a self-confessed 1990s era hip hop geek along with his best friends Jib (Revolori) and Diggy (Clemons) who are about to have the night they won’t ever forget after running into drug dealer Dom (A$AP Rocky).

Malcolm is riding his bike home from school when he crosses paths with Dom who shares a similar passion for 1990s era hip hope. Dom introduces Malcolm to Nakia (Kravitz) who is studying for her GED and gets invited to Dom’s birthday party. She attends the party along with Malcolm, Jib and Diggy and get drunk.

But the party gets interrupted when gang members show up to disrupt a drug deal Dom was a part of in a back room of the party and escape just as the police come to the party. Dom was trying to buy some Molly, but when the cops came, he scrambled and put the drugs in Malcolm’s backpack unbeknownst to the straight A student.

When he gets to school the next day he discovers the drugs and a cell phone and gets a call from someone who’s demanding delivery of the product. This is when things really get sideways for Malcolm who finds himself in the middle of a drug deal gone wrong and still has his alumni interview with Harvard to worry about.

As it would turn out the two things aren’t so different after all.
