Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Robin-Anderson9991 If there's anything that is always prevalent in Austin, Texas, it's the stoner culture that permeates throughout the city's youth. Austin High captures the spirit of that culture in a film that asks "what would happen if a bunch of stoners grew up to run their own high school?".The vibe of "Keeping Austin Weird" is also helped by cameos from the likes of "Dog the Bounty Hunter," who makes a surprise appearance in this indie film to wreck havoc on unsuspecting teens. Over the top and funny, "Austin High" is an indie comedy that captures the city's youth in a light-hearted and often unexpected, and over the top, way. If you're an Austin native or have visited the city, you'll find yourself chuckling along a time or two with this film.
selloutmf 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!
juliesokol 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.
alanthecameraman This is more than just a pro-pot movie. It delves into the issues that both define and divide our culture: gentrification, economic disparity, sexual repression, and our individual ability to affect change. All this, plus it features one of the coolest cities anywhere on Earth as a central character. Great performances by Melinda Cohen, Brently Heilbron, Adriene Mishler, Bill Wise, and Mike Wilson lead the way for a wonderful ensemble of gifted actors, and the cameo by Duane "Dog: The Bounty Hunter" Chapman is not to be missed. Kirk Johnson and Will Elliot offer up a hilarious script, and somehow hang a moral on it without weighing it down. This film really puts the "Tea" back in Texas! Grab a friend, catch a buzz and check it out!
