Oliver, Stoned.

just watched this on Amazon prime, because I'm running out of things to watch. I would say this is a Seth Rogan film if it wasn't for the fact he ain't in it. This is no compliment, if your a Seth rogan fan then you'll probably think it's OK. The characters are so one dimensional they could be served with paper cut outs The acting has been criticised, I honestly don't think the actors or their acting was too bad, it's a weak film and as the saying goes you can't polish a t**d. The storyline has the typical "sethroganesq" stoner screw up guy, who keeps failing at all things in pursuit of weed, a disappointed dad who not only appears to be only ten years his senior for the nearly thirty something stoner living life as though he's 17 (hence the repeating Seth rogan references (did I say that I don't think Seth rogan should be allowed in front of a still camera never mind a movie camera) I got about an hour into the film when I found myself making use of the skip 10 seconds facility that Amazon provides, then I asked myself why I was wasting my valuable 4am time of insomnia on this when there's a bathroom floor I could be scrubbing or ironing that could be done...anything that would mean I don't have to waste my life on this film. That said I pity the actors and crew that probably wasted a lot more than one hour making this drainage. So, to end, I recommend the writer or final script editors that put this together as a script go back to Taco Bell and start wiping down the tables where they belong. Please send a cheque to compensate me for my time. It is in the interest of humanity I have bothered to take further time to write this review...may the Lord have mercy on your souls. Avoid this film, and avoid any film the writers make...note to self make a mental note of their names, wait don't risk forgetting...get a tattoo Jazz Kalkot and Tom Moris...you...you are to blame...don't go trying to pin it on the actors.

Keep in mind this film has nothing whatsoever to do with Oliver Stone. Instead we have a twenty something man with little or no ambition who happens to enjoy smoking the cheeba.

He has to do the odd job for his father's car detailing business in which he successfully screws up constantly. He seems to even have issues with handing out fliers! The crux of the story has him picking up a 55 Mercury from a customer to go detail it but somehow gets it stolen while partaking in some ice cream and some puffs. He then spends the duration of the film looking for the car while getting high and falling in love.

This is a "PG"ish comedy with no nudity but does contain the odd f bomb and rampant use of marijuana(the whole city seems to get high).

Teenagers will enjoy the humour but probably no one else will. It is a light no brainer comedy which actually does emit a few morals. After watching the film you will probably want to get high if you already aren't.

I really liked this movie for several very specific reasons:

1. I am from the area where this main character lives, and it is seriously so on point. I could name you at least 45 dudes personally that live like this. It's a niche SoCal bro specific very much so to the 805. Represent!

2. I like that the filmography is actually filmed in Oxnard, where the movie is based.

3. It doesn't try to be something it isn't. Classic dumb stoner movie. I've seen way worse made for way more so I'm not mad at it.

I thought I would give 'Oliver, Stoned' a chance despite the bad reviews because they can often be misleading. On this occasion, however, 4.2 is about right. Whilst not as bad as I feared, it's certainly a downgrade on just about any comedy I've seen of late.

I'd be interested to know the target audience of this film, who exactly they thought was going to like this. The humour is so dumb it would only appeal to someone with an extremely low IQ. The film isn't particularly badly made, it's just not funny.

A predictably poor comedy movie with very few laughs. Ordinarily, I would say disappointing, but my expectations were already low going it to it.

I would have given this a lower rating, but I've actually seen far worse. Poorly written flat characterizations, wooden and sorry acting. Not one laugh out loud moment. Watch this only if you have nothing else left to do.
