Sex Pot

Alright, looking at the movie cover, you already have the assumption that this will be a teen comedy in the likes of "American Pie" or something similar. I thought as much, and wow was I in for a surprise. This movie is about two virgin boys getting wasted on pot and trying to score with the women.

"Sex Pot" is filled with really, really bad dialogue. At most times it is just incoherent lines that are being tossed there, making you think if they had any clue to what had been done or said earlier in the movie. The dialogue was forced, halting and painstaking to listen to. And it wasn't helped one bit by any good acting. The performances put on here in this movie was, well to put it bluntly, uninspiring and dull. There wasn't any energy in the movie at all. And I think, as an aspiring stoner movie, this movie fails to get anyone's buzz on.

It seemed like all that the movie was about was getting as much nudity into the frame whenever possible, and I for one, found it tacky and tasteless. I am not a prude, nor am I offended by nudity, but it just didn't work in this movie, not by a long shot.

I had hoped to get to sit through an adequate comedy and have some good laughs, but truth be told, then I gave up about one-quarter through the movie. I hadn't laughed a single time, and at the pace the movie was progressing and with what happened in the story, there would be nothing in the vicinity of being funny. I gave up on this movie, it just wasn't anything that I had expected and it most definitely didn't suit my liking.

Hats off to those actually sitting through "Sex Pot", then again, we all have different likes and dislikes. Some maybe like this movie, some may not. I was one of the latter.

I was advised to watch this film by my boyfriend, who is doing Film Studies at university, and I have to say that it lived up to all my expectations! Pitched as an art-nouveau revivalist piece in the coming-of-age genre, this film corkscrewed from dark comedy to pathos in a second, the director managing this whilst dealing with a cast of relative unknowns (says a lot about his directorial talent!) The plot was engaging, the dialogue racy and the comedic timing (though believe me, if you're not a fan of comedy, there's enough drama here too!) impeccable.

The piece is, at times, shocking in it's no-holds-barred portrayal of the existential crisis it's main characters face, but in my opinion the graphical imagery used was entirely justified, and anyone who was offended by this I think should examine their beliefs, not those of the cast and crew. This brave piece of art engaged ideas and concepts more usually constrained to the works of Shakespeare or Poe. 10/10 for the scriptwriting!

In conclusion, taken at face value, like all "artistic" films, many would dismiss Sex Pot as voyeuristic trash, but, if you're willing to put in the effort and scratch beneath it's deliberately insulting, difficult surface, you will more than be repaid...

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.

I will start off by saying maybe some people will like this film if they watch it with the main interest in mind, which is sex and pot. And will push sex and drugs so that some youths will think this is all what life is about. I don't know if I am shallow but I found every girl in this movie to be ugly more ugly than some porn stars they were all just repulsive too and speaking of porn stars the quality of this movie is like watching porn except it revolves around 2 annoying and unfunny characters and they just act like a couple of basers and there acting is horrible. Not to mention the story either cause it's just some random crap thrown into lengthen the run time of the movie which would have been fine if it was funny, but they just throw crude humor and sometimes crude humor is okay but it's not funny and just expect the audience to laugh by the shock value, and the shock isn't even that original. At one point they both were screwing pieces of fruits and bagel... Why the hell would I want to see that? They try to make the movie into some crude humor with sex and drugs, but the movie was just crude. I can see some people liking this film, but there IQ will drop drastically while watching this. It was not a good road trip type of movie, but it wasn't unbearable to the point I didn't finish the film and dislike it to the point of giving it a 1 but maybe that is cause I saw it with some friends while having a conversation.

2.8/10

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!
