Hello internet!
I am Torstein from Cinema Terror and this is my review of the supposedly stoner comedy
Killer Bud from 2001.
And I say supposedly as you would think a movie called Killer Bud would be a stoner
comedy, but instead it is rather light on the cannabis humour.
The film is about two losers who are fired from their job, goes to a bar with no money
and randomly ends up hooking up with two girls by promising them some good weed
to smoke on.
They struggle to find any however, and when they first do, they come across some extra
special type of marijuana.
Since this string is extra pricey, they get the smart idea to make photo copies
of hundred dollar bills so they can get the weed they need.
After they smoke some with the girls off screen, they are sent on a mission to get the girls
some food in order to have a chance of getting laid.
Their trip to the store does not go easy as the store is closed and they need to break
in to find the food they need.
On their way back to the girls they now not only have the police after them, but also
the weed dealer that they gave fake money to.
I guess that's the premise as there isn't anything else to this film.
It has a paper thin plot with characters doing the most stupid shit possible.
There is no heart or meaning behind the film, but even worse, the comedy just does not work.
The writing is terrible and I doubt anyone behind this film has any experience with marijuana
at all before getting the job to create this film.
It look and feel like a small low budget picture, which made me shocked when I saw that IMDB
had an estimated budget of 3 million dollars for it.
If that's actually correct then I wonder where the hell that money went and I doubt they
ever made anything close to that back due to this film going directly to VHS and later
on DVD.
To be fair, I guess they could have made some of it back due to its cast members though.
The duo of morons that we follow is played by Corin Nemec and David Faustino.
Yeah, one of the main stars of Killer Bud is actually Bud from Married With Children.
He plays a scrawny, weak, emotional guy who just follows what his leader says to him regardless
if he knows its wrong or not.
Nemec is that
leader and his character trait is being an irresponsible idiot I guess.
He is not a bad actor and I have seen him in other low budget stuff where he played
more suitable roles, in this one he seems to be miscast.
I would also have liked it more if these guys actually came off as stoners, instead of horny
frat guy and his friendly sidekick.
The female duo that they are trying to hook up with is played by Caroline Keenan and Danielle
Harris.
Keenan plays a bitchy blonde chick, while Harris is as adorable as ever in her role
as the naive, cute and fun girl named Barbie.
Actually, the entire cast is the best part of the film, even if they make up for the
least convincing stoners ever, its just a shame that they didn't get more funny stuff
to work with.
Killer Bud is directed by Karl T. Hirsch, who was the correct age at about 30 when he
made the film.
There is no young energy to be found by watching the film though.
You can go pretty wild when you make a comedy like this, but the style is surprisingly restrained
and too bland for my taste.
There was also several scenes where I would expect there to be music playing in the background,
but nope, no music or emotions to be found anywhere.
Killer Bud is not only false advertisement as it tries to sell itself as a stoner comedy,
which it is not.
There is cannabis present, but it plays little part in the film and could easily have been
exchanged out for anything else.
Worse than that though is how unclever and dull the movie is.
It does save itself a bit from having a cast, mainly of Faustino and Harris, but ultimately
this is not a film that will bring out laughs from any crowd, stoned or not.
That being said, it was more of a forgettable experience than a painful one.
Killer Bud is weak bud and as such only gets a 2 out of 5.
Anyone else out there seen Killer Bud?
If so, what did you think of it?
Any real stoner comedies made after the year 2000 that you think are worth checking out?
