Excellent but underrated film

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Blistering performances.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

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.

Okay, so I thought this would be a great film, since it was compared to Dazed and Confused, therefore I rented it. Dazed and Confused is considered a cult classic. This film? No way, awful, did not laugh once. Turned it off early, it was so bad! Terrible acting, the plot did not flow and I think this film was big waste of money to make. I have never left a review on this site, because most movies on here with such a high rating, usually lives up to its rating. This film did not. However, if you like stupid, idiotic, waste of time, humor, then you will enjoy this. I suppose my mentality cannot comprehend a level of stupidity on this kind of plane. If I could give this movie a quarter star, I would.

Austin 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.

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!
