You talk about the slow pacing, lack of comedy, simplistic story and bad camerawork, but what really makes this movie special is not only the obvious transformation that Cera's character underwent, but also Crystal Fairy's subtle realization that she isn't some kind of special mystical being / fountain of knowledge. Nearing the end of her trip she fails to revive the rabbit, changes her shell-graffiti to Crystal Hairy, and calls herself Isobelle when asked for her name. She doesn't hesitate to eat cookies just like the rest of them, rather than sticking to her vegetables. The mescaline trip allowed both opposite parties to realize who they were without bias. For Jamie that was pretty much just a mean, impatient, closed-minded person who gets too caught up in small social mishaps. For Crystal/Isobelle - a person who puts on a little too much of a front to seem all mystical etc. when really she's just another human being. I think it's safe to say that negative reviewers didn't pay enough attention / aren't familiar with dissolution/transformation of the ego. A story doesn't have to be about big things to be big.
