    Not a 10, not a 2 either

    Overall fairly good go nowhere flick about 2 chicks trying to make rent. Stoner humor but well done for the most part. Found the characters enjoyable enough to get through it. There is nothing new here but it's a decently told story about nothing important.

    Not Bad

    Worth a watch, some genuine laugh out loud moments in this, well there was for me.Stories been done over and over but i would still recommend this one, if you're looking for some fun and can't find nothing to watch

    Not your typical stoner movie

    I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. Let's be honest and state up front that the 2 lead (female) characters are smokin' hot. Arguably "elevens" on a scale of ten. The movie opens with our 2 lovely young ladies waking up in bed together then engaging in some extremely provocative, playful quasi-sexual activity, in equally sexy attire. For the majority of the movie, our lovely ladies are either disrobing, partially disrobed, or in extremely alluring attire. Is our beautiful couple in a lesbian relationship? The subject matter is hinted at a few times but never stated outright or explored beyond surface banter. These positives alone are responsible for me eagerly watching the movie more than once.

    The male portion of the cast is led by the surprise (to me) appearance of Kyle Mooney of recent SNL fame. I've never been a big fan of Mr. Mooney's work but then again he's been an SNL "B lister", only getting small bits. In this movie he really gets a chance to develop his character. A very cool surprise! He plays an adolescent high school kid, a bit socially awkward with raging teenage hormones as his most prominent quality. Perhaps a mix of Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World with a touch of Beavis & Butt-Head. It's truly a great role and highly elevated Kyle's status in my book.

    It's a good story that keeps our attention with some truly funny lines and scenes. I'm a tad bit disappointed in the ending. It changes the overall feel of the movie from "all this stuff could really happen" to "ok this is a fantasy". But a big hats off to the movie's creators for showing us that girls can hang with the big boys when it comes to making great "buddy flicks" with a stoner edge. Like Wayne's World, Dude Where's My Car, Clerks, Jay and Silent Bob, etc. And the added eye candy here is just a bonus.

    A joyful, stupidly entertaining slice of life gem from the perspective of people the system has left behind.

    Never Goin' Back is a raunchy, ridiculous, and wildly entertaining film from top to bottom. The pace is fleet, the characters are fun, and the writer/director was able to capture a lightning in a bottle slice of life (for stupid people) on par with the greats. Think 'Tangerine'. Getting it even closer to its comparison, the audience isn't begged to love these two dummies, but it's impossible not to. For all their hare brained ideas and bucket pooping, the inescapable fact is that these are two nearly homeless 16 year old girls with apparently no parents, no direction, no safety net. They've truly slipped through the cracks of the system and have to make or find everything they have; money, rent, furniture, and most importantly joy. I love this film.

    Fun ride

    There really aren't enough stoner buddy female movies and this one was great. I love the girls' personalities and both actresses nailed it. It's frustrating that all these types of characters are usually written for men so it's refreshing to see women break out of the norm.
