Killer Bud

Buddy/stoner comedies will never go out of style. In one hundred years from now there will still be guys sitting on the couch, smoking weed, and it will still be funny. While the 90's and early 2000's were filled with weed comedies few were actually funny. Surprisingly enough, Killer Bud is at the top of the list.

The secret to Killer Bud's success is it stars David Faustino (Bud Bundy) and everyone's favorite Ferris Bueller rip off, Corey Nemic, two underrated comic geniuses (and I DO use that term lightly!) that hold together an interesting, but wandering weed epic that keeps it's steam all the way through. The story follows Waylon and Buzz after they were fired from an elderly hospital for getting beaten up by the old people. They go to a bar to drown their sorrows where they meet two young ladies looking for a little marijuana. This simple request sets off an odyssey that could only be told in 2001.

Unlike other classic stoner films like Half Baked, Homegrown and Stoned Age, Killer Bud has no true plot or structure but instead, much like the confused stoner who watches it, the film wanders through strange locations, colorful characters and some awesome claymation to give you exactly what you want when you get high. After you've finished watching Killer Bud you won't know what you've seen but you had a good time!

The only reason I watched this was because my overly excited friend shelled out 20 something dollars for the DVD of this movie and told me it was "hillarious". Once the novelty of David Faustino and Corin Nemec in a movie wears off, so does your interest. There are very few comedies I can watch and not laugh once, and this was one of them. Note to all people who always say "well there are some funny parts", a few funny parts do not make a funny movie. You should laugh all the way through a comedy, not just a few seconds.

I had no idea what to expect when I saw this movie on my cable guide but I thought, 'Hey, a stoner movie with two actors who seem to be real-life stoners...how bad can it be?" It actually wasn't bad. This is no Raging Bull but it isn't supposed to be. The plot is ridiculous at best, but that should be what you expected, if not - read the title again.... The characters, Waylon and Buzz - am I the only one who noticed that their names are - wailin' buzz (dude!)? are goofy at best but that's what you want in this movie. It's nice to see Parker Louis working again and David Faustino, well.he's perfect as a Bud Bundy re-hash sort of character. The girls are good but secondary as far as the over-all movie goes. They are integral to the plot of, `get weed, get girls, get food for now hungry girls, get laid"; but seem to take a back seat to the action. Memorable characters include the Gooch and the goofball of a store clerk. Peruvian Butt Pot is hysterical though highly overpriced - grin Look for Buzz sucking on a pot-vision sized can of.you'll see. Feed bags are actually a great marketing name but don't realize their full potential. Character development is nil, as expected. The claymation is a nice touch. If you need too much delving into this movie, you shouldn't watch it. If you are hangin' with the guys and need something stupid/funny to watch while you're imbibing - this is your flick.

This movie is so stupid that I feel I have to write this before it's even over. It's a terrible waste to see some old and what should be retired actors act in a B-movie like this. God. I found this movie for $1.99 in my grocery store. I only bought it because it disguises it's self as a silly stoner movie. I'm stoned, and it's still not funny. What does that say about it?

Who are most of these actors anyway? Aside from Bud from Married with Children and the guy who acts in The Stand, I don't recognize a single one of them. I even read their bios and I don't even remember them from what little else I've seen on their resumes.

I've paused it 6 times so I can go do other stuff to amuse myself. This is ridiculous.

Oh Lord. Now they're discussing how they think of each other when they're masturbating alone. That's not funny.

My advice: Rent Napoleon Dynamite instead.

KILLER BUD is a movie where there are the stupid characters in stupid situations, but all of it is funny. There are a number of scenes that are so outrageous and far from reality that you can't help but laugh. The first half of the movie is just setting up for the insane plot of two best friends, Waylon [Corin Nemec] and Buzz [Dave Faustino] getting locked in a convenience store while trying to break into it. The second half of the movie is spent with cheap [but funny] jokes, slapstick, crude humor, and tons of needless sexual innuendo. This isn't a great movie, it isn't even really a good movie, but it does have some great laughs and is pretty entertaining for a direct-to-video release.
