Sex Pot (2009)

Good movie but grossly overrated

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie was a fantastic analysis of the developing male 'id'. The tumultuous plot is a beautiful reflection on the chaotic destruction and recreation of the self-perceived identity of an adolescent mind.With stunning visuals and brilliant cinematography, this movie simultaneously pays homage to, and critiques classics such as 'American Pie', 'American Pie 2' and 'American Wedding'. It highlights the purity of mirth found in simple humour whilst deriding a director's desperate desire to cling to a plot.Whilst this movie may not be for everyone, such as the pessimistic and pretentious like Harry Sorensen; those who seek pleasure in entertainment and life in general are sure to enjoy this art film.

Before I wanted to watch this movie, I saw the low score on IMDb.I always say: well, I have to see the movie myself, in order to know whether it's good or not.I can tell you: this time, I just could have trusted the low score..Damn, this movie is really boring and terrible.The jokes were lame, the actors were bad and the storyline was very weak. 90 minutes you're wandering yourself: what is the point of this movie?When the end credits are appearing on the screen, you're glad that the movie is finally over.Yeah, you can certainly skip this one..

I suppose if you go into this film with the mindset that it was done by The Asylum then you might not be terribly disappointed. I make a point of watching many of The Asylum's films just to see how bold they are with ripping off whatever it is they're ripping off this time. If you don't know The Asylum, they're bread and butter is taking popular blockbusters and making blatant knock-offs that usually beat the actual movies to market simply for the fact that they're so cheap. For instance, when The Day The Earth Stood Still came out, Asylum's response was The Day The Earth Stopped (starring C. Thomas Howell, no less). Or when Terminator: Salvation came out The Asylum was right there with The Terminators. If that gives you any idea of the level of "film making" going on over there, then you know what you're in for.Anyway, onto the movie. A bit of departure for The Asylum, I couldn't figure out what movie they were ripping off. Maybe because there's so many boring weed comedies out there, but I assume they're trying to capitalize on some of the newer Seth Rogan features. You've basically got two moron stoners who get ahold of some super special pot that makes girls horny and their constant quest to get laid and navigate wacky hi jinx. I know by now you're thinking this couldn't possibly get more juvenile, but you'd be wrong. There's a ton (almost constant, actually) of sex jokes that, while mildly amusing, aren't in any way doing anything for the movie. And I'll be the first to admit I'm a fan of gratuitous nudity, but even I found myself wondering if about 50% of the stuff was really necessary. I suppose I can't, in all fairness, expect any movie that centers around weed to have some intelligence or meaning, but this is clearly pandering to the lowest common denominator. That, or 15 year olds who still think this is the funniest thing ever.All told I guess if you have an idea of what you're in for it's not awful and, in the grand scheme of other Asylum productions, not nearly as derivative. Then again it's certainly not good. If you're reading this and happen to be 15, go out and rent it (but get mommy and daddy's permission first). If you're any older you should know better unless you are stoned as well in which case your opinion matters little more than a 15 year old's anyway.

Starring: Michelle Penick ,Victoria De Mare,Elina Madison& Christine Nguyen Written & Directed by : Eric Forsberg http://theasylum.cc This film is a Mockbuster/or at least a riff on all those National Lampoon movies and generic teen comedies with Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill. The dope,drugs and marijuana stuff is a amusing,If only as a DIY weekend project for misbegotten teens. Some of the situations aren't that funny,Bro/Sis mistake and Strawberry's extra quality. Michelle was awesome female lead and has quite a future( Se interview elsewhere). The others mentioned above stole their moments with great ease,Christine is a SOV legend and very funny and Victoria has a huge list of credits in all genres,Elina redefines MILF ! Some things on road seem out of Scooby Doo mysteries in a SUV and lets ask now....WHERE is the 3-D we were hyped ???
