Wow. This film blew me away. Maybe it was low expectations since I've seen more than enough films about the hippie utopia that is Austin, Texas, but I found myself laughing out loud MANY times while watching this goofy stoner comedy.Clearly inspired by films like Hot Rod and Superbad as well as the classic stoner films of yore, this movie has the pace of Caddyshack and just as many laughs. So many indie movies are so dialogue heavy and move at a snails' pace, but the editors of this film (who I now see are also the writers??) really did a first rate job at hitting all the right beats.Lots of hot hot women and some really unforgettable scenes... my favorite was when one of the kids got a little more smoke than he was looking for, but there were SO many. The ending was a little contrived and not great which is the only reason it gets a 9 and not a 10!

I heard certain people had never even seen this, and yet rated it very poorly due to the title and/or "subject" matter. I think these type of people have invaded our country over the past 3 or so years, ever since Obama became President (it's a sore thing to have a minority in the White House to them, I suppose). However, if they can even remember the slightest bit of humanity they may have left in them, maybe they can start waking up a bit and seeing the light that's out there shining away. This is well written and worth more than a "no thank you". Come on, give it a try, you may actually find being open-minded to your liking! Thanks for reading my review and peace and happiness be yours in the new year.

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!

Fabulous modern take on a Dazed and Confused type of local film. A must watch for any Austinite, new or old, stoner or anyone looking for a laugh. Well cast, acted and great local scenes throughout. Kept us laughing through our entire bucket of beers at the Alamo. It was fast paced, where many indie films get lost in useless plot, and the comedy hits everything from fart jokes to 'too much scrotum'. Also hits the Austin scene highlights; pedicabs, pot smoking and pretty girls. Welcome to Ladybird High, nestled comfortably amongst the soul-searchers, aging hippies, and nouveau weirdos of famously freewheeling Austin, Texas. At Ladybird, it's always 4:20, even for Principal Samuel Wilson. But when the community is rocked by a citywide crackdown on marijuana use, local leaders are determined to make an example of Samuel, his staff and students. When asked to support their iron-fisted efforts, Samuel is beset with the task of cleaning up his beloved school without compromising his life philosophy.
