Beautiful, moving film.
Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Blistering performances.
The outer manifestation of director Alan Duetsch's sleazy inner landscape, aided by an ill-conceived script and lousy acting. To compare this impotent loser to "Dazed and Confused" or "Slacker" is the only laughable facet of this entire cinematic aberration. It's not funny and its creators know it; this smelly cannabis bomb went straight to download and never played in a theatre outside of Austin because, simply put, it's that bad, nightmarishly bad.Embarrassingly amateur, poorly executed, unfunny, juvenile, misogynistic, ageist and mean-spirited, it sucks. Not even mass quantities of the most awesome weed (organic Blue Dream, 28.9% THC anyone?) can make this totally hideous Frankenstein attractive.
Great story line that will have you rolling' and asking' for more. Seen it five times and it just gets better each and every time! A must see for everyone! You can relate to the characters and the underlying message of being true to yourself. Austin shots throughout the movie are for sure going to make it a local classic! You find yourself relating to the movie in one way or another. The scenarios keep you in stitches.The side stories pull the movie together. You'll find yourself reminiscing back to your high school days and wondering about the what ifs? What could possibly happen next? How will it end? Which path will he choose? See the movie to experience a trip of all times.
This is more than just a pro-pot movie. It delves into the issues that both define and divide our culture: gentrification, economic disparity, sexual repression, and our individual ability to affect change. All this, plus it features one of the coolest cities anywhere on Earth as a central character. Great performances by Melinda Cohen, Brently Heilbron, Adriene Mishler, Bill Wise, and Mike Wilson lead the way for a wonderful ensemble of gifted actors, and the cameo by Duane "Dog: The Bounty Hunter" Chapman is not to be missed. Kirk Johnson and Will Elliot offer up a hilarious script, and somehow hang a moral on it without weighing it down. This film really puts the "Tea" back in Texas! Grab a friend, catch a buzz and check it out!
It is the new Dazed and Confused. Sam is a very good writer and Michael Wilson steals the show. Whod a thunk it! Oh And Byran Brown, can he be any funnier? The town of Austin is just beautiful. JennyMarie Jamson is stunning as the handsome cab Driver. Who could not love this film. Alan did such a good job of directing. The Spider house was very cool. This is a historic Austin film. I went to see this film open minded, I knew it was a 420 type film, I went to it open minded and it reminded me of the early days of Austin. So many new friends were made after the film. Oh I forgot the play on Barton Springs was so Funny, I think they were making fun of how much it is protected. I will tell you this, do not miss this film!
