... View MoreThe 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.
... View MoreAustin High was well-made, well-written, and hilarious to watch. The casting was great. The choices in what and how to best represent Austin and Austin culture were solid, too. There wasn't anything non-feel-good about this movie and it makes for the perfect opportunity to watch something with a light heart that still accurately represents a relevant issue. Matters over marijuana are in the news exponentially more so these days and although Austin High's characters are intentional caricatures of potheads, the roles earnestly represent the laid-back nature of the subculture. I definitely recommend this movie! I watched it screened in Austin--there couldn't have been a better place.
... View MoreI saw an opening of this movie in Austin Texas. The first 15 min. take you into the story as it begins to get you ready for severe laughing (which I don't think any of us can complain about) and the movie has some great undertones of sarcasm mixed with top of the line funny line after funny scene..towards the middle I was able to catch my breathe but as the 4th quarter began I couldn't help myself from laughing hard! So hard that my boyfriend was saying "SHH SHH in between his laughing" I am looking forward to seeing this flick again with friends who couldn't see it when I did! Okay, so from the wardrobe selection to the scenes themselves and then of course the acting (and WOW, I hadn't heard of some of these folks but I am sure all of us will in the future). The movie went fast, I even had to go to the ladies room 1/2 way through and couldn't get up 'cause I didn't want to miss a beat and if you miss one line you will be sure to miss something FUNNY. A great comedy !
... View MoreThis 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!
