Rating: Summary: very funny movie Review: I think "The Stöned Age" is one of those movies where either you love it or you hate it. I've met a lot of people who thought it was hilarious. Conversely, I once overheard two guys at my local video store calling it "the worst movie ever made".I happen to be a big fan of this movie. It is unabashedly stupid, yet thoroughly enjoyable and I laugh out loud every time I see it. The characters are believeable, funny, and well-acted (if you happen to be well-versed in the stoner dude culture). Is it "better than 'Dazed and Confused'" (as advertised on the DVD cover)? Well, it certainly has more laughs, and the "plot" doesn't drag (as I sadly noted the last time I saw "D & C"). So, I say it IS better. I would recommend this flick.
Rating: Summary: Will not win an oscar.. but will never go out of style. Review: I waited up till 2 in the morning to first watch the Stoned age after hearing good things about it. I was not dissapointed. The movie is a cult classic and is better then that darling of critics "Dazed and Confused"(which is saying something). The basic premise of the movie is well... take a friday night in Torrence, California, with two stoner friends/their equally braincell deprived buddies, and add a couple of chicks. Although it sounds lame and usual, the movie is best in that it does not take itself seriously. The movie doesn't try to make a few teenagers sound like english graduate students at 18 like present day envogue teen movies, instead it simply lets the characters... well be kids. It seems every character on the movie reminds me of someone I knew in High school. The most hilarious thing about the laughs in the movie, is the fact that they don't appear to be trying to make you laugh. Like dazed and confused, they simply find away to make you snicker almost every minute. The two main Characters, Hubbs and Joe, make a hysterical pair, but to me the most memorable character is "Tack". Tack(played by Clifton Gonzalez-Gonzalez)is such a loser(meant in a good way) its funny. The two "chick" roles(not counting the "buffalo butts girls") play outstanding as the counterparts to Hubbs and joe. Party girl Laney and walflower(and moody) Jill provide probably two of the most hilarious scenes of the movie when both of them pound Joe. The gist of the movie is, Joe and Hubbs only mission in life is to get as they so eloquently put it "Drunk, stoned, and laid". When the two find out about Laney and Jill from Tack,they see their night perfect and set out to fulfill the "night of our life" trifecta. However it seems everyone from Cops, Disco dancing store clerks,loser friends/cocky jocks, overzealous/pervert dads, and big samoan guys stand in there way. This intermixed with Joe "Wierding out" and scaring off chicks with his constant "Narly eyeball" remarks. Oh and did I mention a big, violence prone older brother that has personally eyed Laney and Jill as "his chicks". In the end(not gonna spoil the movie) Joe is still a wuss, and Hubbs is still the tough guy. However at least Joe drives the Blue Torpedo now(have to see the movie to get it) and finally stands up to Hubbs. Look for guest appearances by Frankie Avalon and Jill is none other then Grace Slick's daughter(there is your star power right there). Give it a try.. and when you start to find yourself offended by the movie... remember.. its just a movie and supposed to be fun.

Rating: Summary: Waste of money and time Review: I was in shock on how bad this movie is and am embarrased that I own it.
Rating: Summary: Early 80's feel to 90's film. Metalheads, geeks, and chicks Review: I would have swore this movie came out of the early 80's! You spend an evinging cruzin' in the blue-torpedo with a couple of metalheads armed with peppermint schnaps, and a desire to score with some chicks. I love this film! Plenty of great one-liners and characters that are frightenly familiar. If you liked movies such as Revenge of the Nerds and Fast Times at Ridgemont Hight, you'll enjoy this gem. Until next time... NORAD
Rating: Summary: Oh, Officer Dean, Twinkies, chocolate milk, and thou... Review: I've lived in Torrance all of my life (North High - 1972), and this film is so close to the way it was it almost hurts. I didn't know my life was so much fun!
Rating: Summary: the greatest movie of all time Review: i've seen this movie 12 times and its great each time. i recomend it to anyone.
Rating: Summary: SAW IT ON VHS.. THIS CAN ONLY BE BETTER Review: IF you liked Dazed and Confused... You WILL LOVE this movie.. it is 100 times funnier than D & C. and just all around good wholesome 70's sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll FUN!! I LOVED IT
Rating: Summary: Not a stoner movie at all Review: If your into the hilarious drug related comedies such as the classic Cheech & Chong films I would not recomend this movie, not alot of drugs, not too funny and a bit cheesy.
Rating: Summary: The greatest movie ever!!!!!!!!! Review: It is the funniest movie of all time. The dialogue between all of the characters is superb. Tack and Hankey are the best characters in it. The chant of 'alcohol' along the way to the party typifies the greatness of the film. If you are looking for further great slacker movies, check out Glory Daze and Mallrats. Long live BURNOUTS!!
