Summary: They're "messing up the ratio, man!"
Review: Like some other reporters here, I also have found an issue with the disc, although it plays just fine. The alleged "16X9 widescreen" listed on the box looks suspiciously like what I'd call "unformatted full screen": the picture has been carelessly zoomed into the center of the frame, cutting the credits in half and lopping off characters' skullcaps. And no, my zoom is not mistakenly on.
That's alright, though. I can still hear the classic lines just fine, and see most of Renee Ammann as she's lying there on the bed asleep (except her nice posterior got chopped off thanks to the lousy framing).
The only thing I'll add to the argument about whether or not The Stoned Age is better than Dazed and Confused is this: the only one you'll find any sex or nudity in is The Stoned Age.
I think we have our winner.;)
And be sure to stay tuned after the end credits for two very special surprise guests. If you know who they are, then you'll find more amusement in the scene.

Summary: Stupid humor
Review: Ok, after reading a few mixed reviews, I can clear a few things up and hopefully people won't confuse the 2 movies (Stoned age and D&C). Dazed & Confused was more mainstream and The Stoned age was more like a cult classic. Dazed and Confused was a smarter type of humor flick. The Stoned age is a dumb humor flick. Think of it this way. Pissing in someones ice cube tray=Stoned age, pouring paint on the head of a jackass for revenge=Dazed & Confused. Two different types of movies but both are very funny and well made. Both soundtracks are great also. BOC was rocking just as hard and just as good as most of the bands on the D&C soundtrack. Just 2 different styles. I recommend both movies. Or rent em both and compare yourself.

Summary: A Fine Family Film It Aint!
Review: Personally, I found this movie as being stupid, immature and an affront to traditional moral values. It serves to do nothing but glorify the pitfalls of drugs and sexual indulgence and it's definetely not a film that a follower of Dr. Laura Schlessinger would watch. In short.......I TOTALLY LOVED IT...

Summary: Wanna play SUBMARINE?
Review: The best movie of all time! This is one movie that can be seen over and over again, and it will still have the power to make you laugh your ... off. I actually know people who re-enact this movie on weekends, and it never gets old. This movie is so great that my friends and I have all memorized the script verbatum. All I can say is that if you haven't seen it, then you haven't seen anything!

Summary: One of the funniest movies ever
Review: The movie starts and ends with the two main characters, Joe and Hubbs, out on a Friday night trying to get drunk, stoned, and laid..... Yeah, not too deep, but can't you identify with at least part of the concept?
This movie has so much great dialogue that I cannot even start to get into it, as I'll go on all night.The director and co-writer commentary is outstanding. Every saying, character nickname, song selection has a story behind it. I'm surprised James Melkonian, the director has not been involved in more projects. This movie blows away 9/10 teen movies since 1982 easily. What can I say about the cast of characters (where did they come up with these guys): Tack, Dixie Cup Dean, Lanie, Mike Dick, Mike New York, Hanky, Jill's Dad, Crump's Brother, The Narly Eyeball, The Samoan Dude. It goes on and on... The music is great, even though they couldn't afford the Zeppelin/The Who tunes. Black Sabbath, Montrose, T-Rex, and of course BOC make this movie great. The dvd case has a reviewer quoted as saying "Better than Dazed and Confused". I 100% agree - D&C while a good film, is too boring - does every movie of the genre have to make you think about your future? Thought movies were there to help you escape a little. For once, a movie about cutting loose for a night - The Stoned Age. Don't fear the reaper!

Summary: A movie that knows how to entertain
Review: The Stoned Age couldn't possibly win an Oscar, but who cares? Have you seen the Oscar lineup lately? James Melkonian's funny,trippy movie about two teenage burnout kids driving around the suburbs of LA won't inspire you to intellectual heights, but it'll give you your money's worth in laugh value.

Summary: This is How All B Movies Should Be
Review: The Stoned Age is a complete movie, well, for a straight to video movie, that is. Not only does it have a tremendously funny plot, a set of interesting and good characters, a few hot chicks, but it also has a great soundtrack, featuring Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, and more. If your looking for a movie that's funny and entertaining, check out this flick.

Summary: more than a classic, dare i say a way of life.
Review: the stoned age is a movie that touches the heart of all those people out there who love movies. the stoned age is a movie where all the characters are deep, the dialogue is top notch, and you are always on the edge of your seat. you'll find yourself wanting to watch this movie over and over again. especially if you have the DVD like i do. hell, i have the dvd, the vhs, a dubbed copy from when i first rented it, and a giant poster of the box art. the box says it's better than dazed and confused. that may be true, but it's really apples and oranges, these movies are nothing alike. the director's commentary is hilarious and gives you insight into everything about the movie, what everyone is doing now and who was originally supposed to live in the house down by torrance beach. the stoned age is a movie to watch with the whole family, your date, or your best friends. one of the most hilarious movies i have ever seen in my life. i could go on and on, but you should really stop reading and get this movie.

Summary: Fun Movie To Watch.
Review: The Stoned Age is a pretty fun movie to watch. I've seen it several times and there's no doubt it has some funny scenes. It's not one of the best movies, but there's no doubt it's quite entertaining and the acting is not bad. Worth a watch.
