Two teenagers, Joe and Hubbs, just wanna get drunk, stoned and laid.
Problem is all they got is an half bottle of Peppermint Schnapps, a little bit
of skunk weed and no babes. But their luck turns around when they hear
about two hot chicks from up north who are staying across from "the Frankie
Avalon place". Problem is a bunch of other dudes have heard about them
also. So now they gotta get over there quick and make their move before
anybody else tries to Bogart their babes.THE STONED AGE is not a deep movie or just a straight up T&A sex comedy (although there is some nudity). It's more of a wild night coming of age comedy set in the late 70's. Both Joe and Hubbs are likable fellows who create an interesting dynamic together. The girls, Jill and Lanie, are interesting also...come to think of it everybody in the movie is interesting. There's really not any truly dislikable characters. Well, Jill's father is a dick, but he did kick a bunch of dudes in the balls and double headbutt two guys at once so there's that.
Quick pace, low-budget that works well with the story, good acting, likable cops ("You kids probably think I'm a real butthead. You think I didn't want to sneak into some girl's house when I was your age? Hell... they used to call me 'Doggy Door' Dean."), insanity on your potato, a floating eyeball, massive upper body strength, Ox 45, an awesome soundtrack featuring Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Foghat, Deep Purple, etc. and a ending that makes you wish the movie wasn't over. Recommended for cool dudes.
