Austin High

I saw an opening of this movie in Austin Texas. The first 15 min. take you into the story as it begins to get you ready for severe laughing (which I don't think any of us can complain about) and the movie has some great undertones of sarcasm mixed with top of the line funny line after funny scene..towards the middle I was able to catch my breathe but as the 4th quarter began I couldn't help myself from laughing hard! So hard that my boyfriend was saying "SHH SHH in between his laughing" I am looking forward to seeing this flick again with friends who couldn't see it when I did! Okay, so from the wardrobe selection to the scenes themselves and then of course the acting (and WOW, I hadn't heard of some of these folks but I am sure all of us will in the future). The movie went fast, I even had to go to the ladies room 1/2 way through and couldn't get up 'cause I didn't want to miss a beat and if you miss one line you will be sure to miss something FUNNY. A great comedy !

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!

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.

I really enjoyed the first feature length comedy by the writers at BeefandSage. The main story revolves around a forced culture change at high school, but touches on issues of gentrification and corrupt politicians, while also containing elements of coming-of-age comedy. From the soundtrack to laugh-out-loud moments, it's certainly well done for the budget. Brently Heilbron alone was worth the price of admission, but it was certainly a team effort with talented (and hilarious) short- film actor, Mike Wilson, the smoking-hot Melinda Cohen, and gifted director, Alan Deutsch. Can't wait to own a copy!

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.
