What would happen if a group of high school slackers grew up and became the faculty at their own high school?

Reviews
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
selloutmf Wow. This film blew me away. Maybe it was low expectations since I've seen more than enough films about the hippie utopia that is Austin, Texas, but I found myself laughing out loud MANY times while watching this goofy stoner comedy.Clearly inspired by films like Hot Rod and Superbad as well as the classic stoner films of yore, this movie has the pace of Caddyshack and just as many laughs. So many indie movies are so dialogue heavy and move at a snails' pace, but the editors of this film (who I now see are also the writers??) really did a first rate job at hitting all the right beats.Lots of hot hot women and some really unforgettable scenes... my favorite was when one of the kids got a little more smoke than he was looking for, but there were SO many. The ending was a little contrived and not great which is the only reason it gets a 9 and not a 10!
tpogonat Hilarious movie, true to Austin and all the "Keep Austin Weird" motto! Saw it at Austin Film Festival and laughed so hard I literally teared up. Acting was great and natural and you actually wondered if these folks knew each other well in real life. This is *not* like a "Dazed and Confused" wanna-be type movie and more in step with today's Austinite antics ;). The writing and dialog is naturally portrayed. I found the story plot-line quite eccentric (like Austin's characters aren't??). Also, the subject matter is hilariously politically incorrect (come'on, you know you laugh at non-pc comedy!), and will leave you laughing at every take. A lot of the humor is over the top, crazy and squirm-in-your-chair-uncomfortable-funny - but if you like Tosh.0 then this is right up your alley.
mtijerina2 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.
michael moffatt 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!
