9/10
A hidden gem
30 September 2020
Don't you just love movies like these? The ones where no one can ever tell you about, you just have to find it yourself? Browsing through Amazon Prime, I came across The Stoned Age and I gave it shot and now I'm throwing out a solid, hard 9/10 rating.

This movie is extremely self aware of what it is and what it wants to be. There are little to no backstories for most of the characters, instead, we are brought along on this ride of 2 dudes looking for some chicks and quite frankly that is basically what happens, but through the journey of the night we get a story that is oddly compelling and we start to feel sympathy for Joe. I would argue that if Joe wasn't in this movie it would lower my rating. The striking resemblance he casts on other people watching this movie was done nearly flawlessly.

The writing, setting, acting is a wild enjoyable ride. The work put into this movie is REAL and can be felt. We have relatable stoner type humour mixed in with a surprisingly strong realistic story of irony, that I did not see coming at all.

I went into this with zero expectations and I was blown away. This is a very well done movie of its type and it's very smart in what it delivers.

Maybe because I can relate all too much, and I may be incredibly bias in my review. You can take it like a grain of salt, but if you can relate then you'll see why a 9 is a deserving rating.
