Rating (out of 5):
I don't smoke pot nor do any other form of drugs. I drink on occasion but I don't do drugs and probably never will. I feel the need to let that be known after I just sit here for two days reviewing all 5 Evil Bong films. I've had people comment on the other reviews and called me a stoner and other things. I don't do drugs. If, big IF, pot was legal in West Virginia then I may turn to it instead of drinking to release stress but until then I shoe away from it. A few days ago I was sent a press release for the fifth Evil Bong film. Knowing how much I loved the other films I had to see it. I reached out to them and they were kind enough to hook me up with a review copy. Thanks guys!
The film picks up with Larnell, Sarah Leigh, Felicity, and Rabbit stuck in the bong world while EB (Evil Bong) tries to come up with a plan to take over the world. She gets the idea to sell her magic weed to the people of Earth that way she can enslave them when they smoke it. She sends Larnell and Rabbit back to set up a head shop and give them 30 days to sell. If they can sell a million dollars within that time frame she will let all four go free. Rabbit and Larnell sell the best they can but can they do it in time?
Rather sad day here in my home. I knew my Evil Bong marathon would end but I didn't want it to end as quick as it did! The series as a whole is campy, cheesy fun that offers up amazing stoner jokes. Evil Bong: High-5 was no exception. The acting in this one is not as fun as the first four films. We have Larnell and Rabbit, Jordan and Davis respectively, return but that is it. We don't have a different Alistair, and Bachman and Brett is nowhere to be seen. The film is not as fun without the whole gang being here. Davis and Jordan were still fun and have fine tuned their characters by this point but the film gets rather boring just watching those two and their antics. The story for this one is similar to 420 and a departure from smoking pot and finding their way into different bong worlds. This time we actually get a story that follows the cast doing something more than smoking pot. It was fun and broke up the monotony of the original films. Finally, the fifth installment is no different than the others and offer up no blood and gore. Just pot, pot, and more pot with a large amount of humor tossed in. Overall, Evil Bong: High-5 is another great installment in a series meant for laughs. The film may be far from perfect but it still offers up some entertainment. It is funny and cheap which is what I love. However, we need more Brett and Bachman so bring them back, Charles!
