Friends since they were small boys, Adam and Paul have withered into two, hapless, desperate junkies, tied together by habit and necessity. The film follows the boys over the course of a single day, which, like every other, is entirely devoted to the business of scrounging and robbing money for drugs. The difference today is that Adam and Paul, already near rock bottom, have finally run out of luck, credit and friends. From the moment they wake in a field by the airport to discover that someone has glued one of them to an old mattress, there is a feeling that this is not going to be their day.

Think Laurel and Hardy on smack and you'll get a feel for the strange, unforgettable world of this unique film.-
"Amusing, often hilarious, despite its grim setting and scumbag characters."
David Parkinson, Empire Magazine -
"Adam & Paul' is not a film without hope; it is a tender, unsentimental and very funny testament to the persistence of the human spirit in even the most damaged and marginal of people."Rotten Tomatoes -
"Grimier and grittier than bathing in an open cesspit, this heroin-ain't-chic story certainly makes for gruelling viewing."
