Sex Pot

Really... I understand that stoner movies need to be filled with an easy to catch storyline, tons of short non-complicated jokes and a good vibe/drug surrounded scenario but this movie in particular failed to do so in every aspect. I have to say I was not under the influence at the time, but I'm pretty sure that back in my stoner days this flick would've been just a waste of weed.

When a movie's focus is based in a certain action a ton of creativity is needed to make the ride amusing, Sex Pot lacks almost everything that is key to a good stoner movie... I'm trying to be brief so I will not get into those.

My point here is that a dull comedy is fun when the jokes are good, but watching two virgins getting stoned and trying to score with a bad story and some really bad comic lines is not for me, if that rocks your boat... go for it, just be warned!

I suppose if you go into this film with the mindset that it was done by The Asylum then you might not be terribly disappointed. I make a point of watching many of The Asylum's films just to see how bold they are with ripping off whatever it is they're ripping off this time. If you don't know The Asylum, they're bread and butter is taking popular blockbusters and making blatant knock-offs that usually beat the actual movies to market simply for the fact that they're so cheap. For instance, when The Day The Earth Stood Still came out, Asylum's response was The Day The Earth Stopped (starring C. Thomas Howell, no less). Or when Terminator: Salvation came out The Asylum was right there with The Terminators. If that gives you any idea of the level of "film making" going on over there, then you know what you're in for.

Anyway, onto the movie. A bit of departure for The Asylum, I couldn't figure out what movie they were ripping off. Maybe because there's so many boring weed comedies out there, but I assume they're trying to capitalize on some of the newer Seth Rogan features. You've basically got two moron stoners who get ahold of some super special pot that makes girls horny and their constant quest to get laid and navigate wacky hi jinx. I know by now you're thinking this couldn't possibly get more juvenile, but you'd be wrong. There's a ton (almost constant, actually) of sex jokes that, while mildly amusing, aren't in any way doing anything for the movie. And I'll be the first to admit I'm a fan of gratuitous nudity, but even I found myself wondering if about 50% of the stuff was really necessary. I suppose I can't, in all fairness, expect any movie that centers around weed to have some intelligence or meaning, but this is clearly pandering to the lowest common denominator. That, or 15 year olds who still think this is the funniest thing ever.

All told I guess if you have an idea of what you're in for it's not awful and, in the grand scheme of other Asylum productions, not nearly as derivative. Then again it's certainly not good. If you're reading this and happen to be 15, go out and rent it (but get mommy and daddy's permission first). If you're any older you should know better unless you are stoned as well in which case your opinion matters little more than a 15 year old's anyway.

I don't know what is wrong with people who didn't give this a "one star" and tried to be nice. I for one was enraged that such a terrible movie could be made when so many others never get out of the script phase. This movie was a F minus rip off of the Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle movie. But in this version not one OF 50 OR 60 jokes in this movie was funny. The no name actors(a term obviously taken loosely during casting) where painfully bad and the whole movie was shot out of one camera. I really felt like the people at the movie store ripped me off by even making this a possibility. Twelve year old boys will like this film because of the boobs but even they will be fast forwarding to get to them. Teens will not like this movie, Adults will not like this movie, girls will not like this movie, children 10 and under will not like this movie and 11 and 12 year old boys will only like it if they somehow manage to rent it on there own and have a DVD/TV in there room with a fast forward button. Worst movie I have ever seen!

I normally like a lot of the Asylum stuff, but this one was kind of a miss. It looked kind of cheap, and wasn't as funny as a lot of other stoner type comedies.

The T&A in the movie wasn't great either except for like one or two. The Asian lesbian chick was cute, but most of the other girls that got naked didn't have very impressive bodies.

A few of the scenes were funny, but it seemed to drag on forever in parts. There was one scene in the basement during the party that just seemed to last FOREVER, way too long, it felt like they were just padding out the length of the movie.

The car wash scene was ridiculous because you could tell that it was just the same girls from a few different angles trying to pretend to be a bunch more.

Overall it was okay but kind of a disappointment, it felt like a funny idea but it didn't live up to what it could have been.

This movie simply is a bloody shame. It is about teenagers experimenting with pot. And to make this dull theme even duller some efforts to have sex are thrown in. Of course they never do have sex, for this is a comedy. So every effort ends in some disaster. These are intended to be funny, but they are straight out of the terrible sex comedies from the 1970's, such as Porky.

The DVD version I saw was in HD and that shows even more clearly what an awful movie this is. The script is awful, the actors are terrible, the direction is ridiculous, all jokes are badly timed, the camera is too static: in one word this is a complete disaster.

Every dime you spend on this movie is lost. You better put them in a slot machine. Who knows it returns something. This movie certainly doesn't.
