“I originally scrolled pass this movie because it looked like trash but after looking at the cast I actually gave it a chance and I was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Overall this is still a low quality movie with A LOT of issues Iu0026#39;m not sugar coating any of this movieu0026#39;s obvious glaring flaws, with that being said I still found some of the movie to be genuinely funny.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Bad: A lot of the main cast are celebrities that CAN NOT ACT, this carries over into Darcyu0026#39;s love interest who she has ZERO chemistry with. The plot/writing is HORRBLIE and somehow progressively gets worse, while the acting and directing in the earlier scenes magnify this. A lot of things feel forced in and unnecessary for example the vast majority of the cast are women(its even being advertise as u0026quot;MTVu0026#39;s Female-Led Stoner Comedyu0026quot;) with men being regulated to very short supporting roles. I would have no problem if it made the movie better but it doesnu0026#39;t, a lot of the main cast acting skills and chemistry are lacking severely and the casting limitations are at fault imo. Itu0026#39;s like they were more concerned with checking boxes than telling a compelling story or making a good funny movie. Lastly the budget for this was small and you can feel it, a lot of scenes are done in one take with errors and a lot of the props look very cheap.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Good: Even with all itu0026#39;s flaws and faults itu0026#39;s still a surprisingly funny and light hearted movie. Skye Townsend, Jess Hilarious and DC Young Fly carried this movie on there backs comedically, Brandee Evans also did a great job playing the static serious character. Paris Berelc actually had a number of funny lines despite her overacting in most scenes, while Pretty Vee did a great job with what she was given her comedic talents were vastly under utilized in this movie. Somehow Paris Berelc ended up with far more funny lines and scenes between the two with varying degrees of success, It feels like this could have actually been a very good movie if they had a better director, writer and casting all the pieces for a great movie are here sadly its just not properly assembled, worth a watch if you are insanely bored.”
