Trailer—Pretty Stoned

Stella (Pretty Vee) and Darcy (Paris Berelc) both work at the same make-up salon in Atlanta. On 420 day Stella plays sick at work so she can go home and get stoned. Darcy is her polar opposite who constantly needs to repeat affirmations. She does not work well under pressure and gets fired. Blaming Stella, Darcy pays her a visit. While Stella is out of the room, Darcy finds her Pink Hasheem stash and flushes it down the toilet leaving criminal elements wanting either the drugs or $20.000 by midnight. This leads to some failed schemes and silly scenes that didn't work because this is 2023 and not 1969. The acting was bad. The plot was stupid by design. Paris Berelc in a micro mini skirt/dress with thigh high boots was a plus but didn't carry the movie because I kept thinking she was here because Selena Gomez is too expensive. Chris Renfro played the gay friend for some more attempts at comedy and Dreamdoll added some more eye candy. Maybe I am just old, but I wasn't entertained. Guide" No swearing, sex, or nudity.

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 I'm not sugar coating any of this movie's obvious glaring flaws, with that being said I still found some of the movie to be genuinely funny. The Bad: A lot of the main cast are celebrities that CAN NOT ACT, this carries over into Darcy'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 "MTV's Female-Led Stoner Comedy") with men being regulated to very short supporting roles. I would have no problem if it made the movie better but it doesn't, a lot of the main cast acting skills and chemistry are lacking severely and the casting limitations are at fault imo. It'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. The Good: Even with all it's flaws and faults it'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.
