The Stöned Age (1994)

Very well executed

Better Late Then Never

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

WHen Dazed and Confused made it's big splash, you knew there had to be a b level equal. The Stoned age is more then b level material, and is quite funny at the same time.The story is the familiar two guys looking for fun on a weekend night. There are the several misadventures as they guys meet up with two chicks, who just happened to be eyed up by the competition, the recently paroled Crump.One of the funniest part of the film belongs to the two straight laced cops who continually follow the two stars around. Both are so straight, they are funny. No matter what the situation, there's the one cop who relates it to his own youth, to show the teens that at heart, he was at one time, one of them.This is one of the few films that China Kantner has done. She's good looking, despite the efforts to dress her down into more of a tomboy. While Hubbs is after the hot blonde Lainie, Joe is paired with Jill (China Kantner). The uncomfortableness between the two does turn into an attraction. Where Hubbs is just in it for a one night stand, Joe is a little more mature.When Crump arrives to stake his claim, Hubbs runs form the fight, and Joe does so relunctedly, but does return. Only this time, he's confronted by the chicks father. Joe stands up for the honor of both girls has they are berated by their father. His act impresses Jill, and Hubbs returns to rescue his friend.The ending was great because by the end, the side kick has stood on his own, and you sense the roles between Hubbs and Joe has changed for the better.Keep an eye for cameo's by FRankie Valli, Buck Dhrama, and Eric Bloom of the legendary Blue Oyster Cult, (who themselves are a key plot element), Taylor Negron, and in one of his first roles, Jake Busey. Overall, a very enjoyable escapism flick that doesn't fall into formula.

This movie is a classic comedy that really hits home for those who were in high school in the late '70s and early '80s. Although it is supposed to take place in the '70s, having grown up in that decade and the following one, it feels and looks more like the early '80s. In any case, what I love about this film is that it captures the vibe of that era perfectly. For example, nobody in high school today would dare drive a car like the beat-up and seriously disheveled piece of crap VW station wagon that Joe and Hubs drive. Yet such embarrassing means of transport were de rigueur back in the day. I even knew someone who drove a modified post office truck to school. You see, not everyone had money back then. And, rather than be embarrassed by this fact, most just made the best they could of it - like Joe, Hubs, and Tack. In fact, what I like most about the film is that it depicts the middle class of this country like it really is - stripped of all of its pretensions and insecurities. The backbone of our middle class is the blue-collar and working classes. Without them, there would be no middle class. They do all the hard, back breaking physical work necessary for the upper middle class to continue living in comfort. When I first saw this movie, I viewed superficially as just one more good-times stoner film. Having watched it repeatedly, however, I see more clearly the subtleties embedded involving coping with the class and social distinctions we all have to cope with growing up in our culture. Definitely a classic film even if low budget. I would compare it more, though, with the Cheech and Chong films than with Dazed and Confused.

This is my fav movie, every person in this movie is cool. I wish some day that a sequal will be made, who ever made this movie should of won some kind of award,I think this movie doesn't get the credit it deserves for being one of the best films ever. It is sad that every movie now has either some fake rapper or a billion dollar budget, blue oyster cult is way cooler then nelly or emenim and colt 45 is way cooler then smirnof ice,I'm only 18 but I have way more respect for this generation then my own.
