Plot: The story of Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson), a streetwise American master chemist who heads to England to sell his special new formula, a powerful blue concoction, guaranteed to take you to the 51st State. McElroy's new product delivers a feeling 51 times more powerful than any thrill, any pleasure, any high in history. But his plans for a quick, profitable score go comically awry when he gets stuck in Liverpool with an unlikely escort Felix (Robert Carlyle) and becomes entangled in a bizarre web of double-dealing and double crosses.Elmo McElroy made one little mistake in 1971, he was caught smoking pot, while driving home from his graduation. In the blink of an eye, his dream of being a fully licensed pharmacist went up in smoke like the joint in his hand. Fast forward to 2001 and McElroy is on the wrong side of the tacks. Left with no choice, he's been forced to use his professional talents illegally in order to make a living. He wants out of the business badly, and he has an ace up his sleeve. It's a formula that's going to change his life and set him up for a terrific future. A wonder chemist, McElroy has created POS-5, a party favor that promises to be a "personal visit from God." The coup de grace is that this new creation is made from entirely legal
