Killer Bud

I saw this in LA a while back and I had a blast. Yes the humor was dumb at times but who cares? Its a movie about two dumb-ass guys who get stuck in a convenience store! The actors did a great job, (David Faustino really steps beyond his "Married..." days), the directing is tight and it has Robert Stack as a kick-ass delta force style commando. Some of the time the movie played it "safe" in the humor but that helped keep it seem real. So all in all, its a low-brow comedy with some high-brow heart, and one of the funniest boy-boy bonding moments I've ever seen on film.

I saw this movie on show time or some cable channel in 2003. I watched it based on the fact bud bundy was in it. I was excpecting a horrible piece of crap but it was better than expected. I love the all the characters and the sound track. I love how these 2 stoner losers get themselves involved in such dumbass situations through this whole film. Its typical for a stoner comedy but it turned out to work very well for this hidden gem. I was disappointed by the ending but other than that i would say this is a pretty decent film. I would never expect it to win any awards. Overall I just think the chemistry between all the actors shine despite the ridiculous story line.

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.

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.
