Killer Bud is a 2001 stoner comedy directed by Karl T. Hirsch and written by C. Courtney Joyner. The movie follows the story of a group of friends who accidentally grow a genetically modified strain of marijuana that has lethal side-effects. The main characters are played by Corin Nemec, David Faustino, and Danielle Harris. Nemec plays Jack, a slacker who lives with his best friend and dealer, Nelson (Faustino). Jack, Nelson, and their friends are all avid marijuana users and are constantly smoking or trying out new strains of weed. One day, Nelson gets his hands on some unusual seeds and decides to grow them.

The group soon realizes that the strain they have grown is unlike any other - it is incredibly potent and has hallucinogenic effects. However, they also discover that the weed has some deadly consequences. Anyone who smokes it starts to suffer from severe paranoia and violent tendencies.

As the group starts to feel the effects of the weed themselves, they become increasingly worried about what might happen if other people are affected. They decide that they need to destroy the strain, but this proves to be easier said than done. They soon find themselves being pursued by a group of shady government operatives who want to get their hands on the killer bud at any cost.

Despite the serious consequences of their actions, the movie never takes itself too seriously. There are plenty of comedic moments and stoner humor throughout the film. The characters are all likable even if they are a bit one-dimensional, and they make for an entertaining cast.

One of the standout performances in the movie comes from David Faustino, who plays Nelson. Faustino's comedic timing is spot-on, and he brings a lot of energy to the film. Danielle Harris also gives a solid performance as the group's resident stoner girl.

The plot of Killer Bud is fairly simple, but that works to the movie's advantage. The simplicity allows the focus to be on the humor and the characters rather than the plot twists. There are some predictable moments, but overall the movie is a fun ride.

One of the more interesting aspects of the movie is the way it handles drug use. While the characters are constantly smoking and getting high, the film doesn't necessarily promote drug use as a positive thing. Instead, it shows the negative consequences of using a drug that is not fully understood.

Killer Bud is not a perfect movie by any means. The pacing can be slow at times, and some of the supporting characters are underdeveloped. However, it's a fun and lighthearted comedy that is sure to be enjoyed by fans of stoner movies. It's also a good introduction to the genre for those who aren't typically fans of stoner humor.

Overall, Killer Bud is a solid comedy that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a good option for those who want a lighthearted movie with plenty of laughs. The cast is entertaining to watch, and the plot is simple enough to follow without getting bogged down in details. If you're a fan of stoner comedies, this one is definitely worth checking out.

Killer Bud is a 2001 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 32 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 4.5.
