Sex Pot

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.

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

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!

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 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...
