Nov 27, 2021 It was really bad, there was no real plot just a bunch of random things happening at once. And the end was so disappointing. Actually the worst movie I have seen. Hope you have a great day and do not waste your time on this movie;) See more

May 30, 2021 While this movie was choc full of the usual sex, parties, drugs, and such that forms the meat of most teen-oriented flex, two deeper currents stood out for me as most significant: 1. Lily's deep-seated control issues vis a vis her other girlfriends. Everything had to be her way or the highway, and she could be extremely catty and bitchy if that were challenged. 2. And even more obvious: Lily was scared s**tless as the end of high school approached and her little posse started to dissolve and each girl was contemplating their own lives direction. For many life seems to be over after high school, and some try to hold onto that with an iron grip. It reminded me about my own senior year memories and fear of seeing that end and drop away. (BTW, I graduated HS in 1962.) But as the frighteningly unfamiliar becomes more familiar and comfortable, one gradually segues into the new routine until, upon revisiting the ol' stompin' grounds, you realize you've actually grown and moved on.

Jul 18, 2019 It was bad. That's all I'm going to say. See more

Apr 20, 2019 Huge bummer. It brings up issues that it clearly can't handle. It comes out on 4/20 and is marketed as a stoner movie, but the whole movie's about grief, loss, and SEXUAL ASSAULT! Yah, major issues representing consent. One love interest (Dude 1) keeps plowing through rejections and does the whole "surprise kiss bs,' then still hooks up with the lead. At least the sex scene with Dude 1 emphasizes consent. But then, the same character is straight up raped. She's high, says she doesn't want to have sex, he (Dude 2) rapes her, she tells him to stop, and he keeps going. It was traumatic to watch, and the rapist is just kneed in the balls, like that in any way matches to what he did. All the drinking, drugs, and sex just seem like the characters are broken, miserable, and trying to escape their unhappiness. So, yeah. Not a weed movie. See more

yash b @yashbansal Mar 4, 2019 I think the target demographic for "Dude" will actually like it quite a bit. It's a surprisingly decent high school comedy with enough dramatic weight despite it covering themes that have definitely been done already. I think I thought this movie was a decent spin on the high school genre and I mostly felt this because I liked the main group of friends in this movie. I bought them as friends and thought they all had unique conflicts. I do feel that certain characters were miscast, as I do in many high school movies because they were too old for it to believable. There is one thing that happens in the movie that is pretty troubling and I felt it should have been either left out or handled a bit more seriously. Regardless of some flaws here and there, this movie was a solid one time watch and I felt it might be one of the more underrated Netflix originals.  See more
