Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie is a lot better, both in production values and entertainment value, than I dared to expect.First of all, the movie does not take itself seriously at all. Going into that with this mindset, you can just enjoy the ride.Secondly, the movie works nudity into the plot in a way that makes the excessive female nudity seem plausible, which I can totally appreciate.Thirdly, well, the movie is just fun. A few things work differently in the movie world than in the real world, but it is consistent. Plot holes are minor and can be forgiven for the sheer about of entertainment they produce.I would warn people that this is not for "serious" watchers who want something that would work in real life, or what something which is politically correct, or reflecting reality.If you think more towards "Deadpool" (a fun time) than "Hard Boiled" (a serious time) ... but actually, this movie is more out of reality than I expected.No hints at all as to the plot in this one, just watch it for fun and you'll have a 10/10 time.Overall due to a few minor things I'd rate it 9/10 overall as a movie.Grade: A.

This movie...This movie is going to be the death of me!Anyway, this is one of the most atrocious things I've ever seen put to film (I call it a thing because it isn't really a film-- more like an assemblage of unfunny penis and marijuana jokes strung together by a plot dumber than any of the fake trailers in the film "Grindhouse" (an actual good intentionally bad movie)).So, what makes this film so egregiously awful, you may be asking? Well, to do that, I'd have to spoil the entire film, but this is my review, so, yeah...The movie opens up with a montage of naked women (because boobs are funny?) running into a sorority house from what are presumably zombies (though the film never directly states this). Insert a penis joke so that we can cut to what is ultimately a joke referencing a better zombie movie (28 Days Later), because just making a reference counts as comedy, right? Anyways, we cut to a college party where we see our protagonist Chrissy making jell-o shots, only so they can be used later in the same scene as a set-up to a period joke that ultimately isn't funny. Humiliated, Chrissy runs to the science lab where she discovers a zombie (that she's never noticed until now?), and ultimately decides to make it her boyfriend so she can stay in the sorority and keep her scholarship (what?). Seeking revenge on Chrissy (for something that is never actually explained in the film), Bambi, the leader of the sorority, tries to get the zombie to cheat on Chrissy so that she can break them up and get her kicked out. No character development is ever established for Bambi except that she's a deplorable human being. So, the zombie gets mad, starts biting people up, and ultimately, all hell breaks loose...To keep a long story short, they cure the zombie infection with weed, leading to more drugs, nudity, and childish humor.Stay as far away from this movie as possible! I love movies that are so bad, it's good, but this movie is just genuinely frustrating to watch! I implore you to watch a good zom-com like Dead Alive or Shaun of the Dead!Whoa... That felt good to get off of my chest!Time to go watch a good movie to cleanse my palate (inserts some pretentious art-house film into the Blu-ray player)!

This movie is like it was made by a group of obnoxious people who think they're funny, but only laugh at each others jokes. Meanwhile people sit around quietly and wonder when they'll all shut up. It's offensive, vulgar, immature, but still able to come up with the occasional laugh, as low hanging as the jokes are.The plot revolves around (spoils ahead) the only smart girl in the movie and her discovery her teacher was involved in creating a zombie with an appropriately named machine. However this zombie is 'special' because it is a particularly relaxed zombie with no interest in snacking on brains and more focused on sparking up a joint and gaining the affection of main character Crissy. Of course the zombie virus gets around, Obviously this is by no means a traditional zombie movie, and rather focuses on the recent trend of the comedic zombie movie. Sadly, it's not very effective at being funny throughout, and seems to focus more on raunchy jokes like they wanted to be some American Pie esque, college movie with cardboard cut outs for characters. The result is a movie that begs you to turn off your brain to enjoy, lest you go out and do something productive (like make a better movie). This movie seems to have gone all out to be cheesy so it can be categorized as one of those really bad MST3K movies that is still enjoyable to make fun because it's that bad. However to me this movie couldn't even accomplish the essence of a B movie because it was painfully obvious that the filmmakers were going for that sort of tone, and ended up making a movie in the same vein as Sharknado; the movie knowingly winks at you over how terrible it is, and it comes off as annoying as opposed to amusing.On the bright side, if you like full frontal nudity but feel pornography doesn't have enough cheap jokes or gore, this could be the movie for you. Otherwise, I'd advise people to stay away from this horrible, horrible, film.

The good news is, The Coed and the Zombie Stoner is not an irredeemable movie by all means. It at least knows what it is and what it's trying to do and be, which is always a good thing after seeing many movies recently that don't. It's very silly, but there is a simple sense of fun and charm when it doesn't get too random, at least there aren't any awkward tone shifts or a completely-different-movie feel. There were some fairly neat touches, notably the 28 Days Earlier on-screen caption(not an original one but will raise a smile) and one external review talks of Rigo's hand wiggling reminding them of Wallace and Gromit and I agree with that. Grant O'Connell is engaging and pretty likable, the best actor in the cast and Rigo is the only character we get close to caring for. The production values are not great, neither are they amateurish. Coed and the Zombie Stoner does have its fair share of problems. A lot of the script apart from some endearingly silly parts does feel and sound like a rough draft and really could have done with a few more re-writes. The story gets off to a very slow and dull first 15 minutes and while the pace picks up and there are signs of a story(and one that feels like the movie knows who it's aimed at) the structure often does feel too random and chaotic, with its fair share of repetition too; there is also some inoffensive nudity and the like that wasn't cheap as such but you did wish they toned down a bit. Apart from O'Connell the acting while eager does scream of inexperience, Catherine Annette is a very pretty girl but her constant talking/yapping got very annoying after a while. And of the characters the only one that is close to being developed is Rigo, most of them were very cardboard and others like Chrissy got on my nerves. The direction also shows some inexperience but there were glimpses of potential so it was not a hack job. The music has some nice moments but was a bit too constant and repetitive in other spots. Overall, neither a good or terrible movie, aspects are lame while other aspects were reasonable. 5/10, though in honesty the movie was not an easy one to rate without being too harsh or generous.
