Deet N Bax Save Th' World is an independent stoner comedy released in 2015. The film follows the story of Deet (Jason Mewes) and Bax (Weston Cage), two bumbling stoners who open a marijuana dispensary in Portland, Oregon. Soon after, they find themselves in a peculiar situation - the safety of the world is threatened by an evil corporation that plans to sell a new energy drink contaminated with a toxic substance.

Deet and Bax inadvertently become the last line of defense against this nefarious plan as they team up with a motley crew of characters, including a genius scientist and a retired baseball player. Together, they embark on a wild adventure to save the world from impending doom.

The movie is a satirical take on the stoner comedy genre, blending weed culture with action and humor. Jason Mewes delivers a standout performance as Deet, the perpetually stoned but lovable protagonist. Weston Cage makes his feature film debut as Bax, Deet's best friend and business partner. Their chemistry on screen is undeniable, and the movie draws a lot of humor from their antics together.

Craig Michaelson also makes an appearance as the menacing villain, Charles Carrol. He is the ruthless CEO of the energy drink company and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. The character is an interesting juxtaposition to the bumbling heroes and creates tension throughout the film.

The humor in Deet N Bax Save Th' World can be crass and irreverent, but it never takes itself too seriously. The film embraces the absurdity of its premise, and the jokes often land. The supporting cast offers a lot of laughs as well, particularly the eccentric scientist Dr. Lebowski, played by John Branch.

The movie also tackles some topical issues, such as the legalization of marijuana and corporate greed. However, it never gets too heavy-handed with its messaging and instead opts to focus on the comedic elements.

The cinematography is straightforward but effective, capturing the quirky charm of Portland's landmarks and scenery. The soundtrack is also noteworthy, featuring songs by local bands and artists.

Overall, Deet N Bax Save Th' World is a fun and silly adventure that will appeal to fans of stoner comedies. It's not a groundbreaking film, but it doesn't need to be. It's unabashedly goofy and delivers on its promise to entertain. Jason Mewes and Weston Cage's performances are the highlight of the movie, and their chemistry is infectious. The film is a solid option for a low-key movie night with friends.
