Watch Sex Pot

Sex Pot is a 2009 comedy film directed by Eric Forsberg and stars Rollin Perry and Seth Cassell as the main characters, supported by actresses Michelle Penick (as Amber) and Rana Davis (as Barbie). This over-the-top, raunchy comedy embraces the adolescent stoner genre, bringing viewers along for a wild ride filled with crude humor, scantily clad women, and, yes, a whole lot of marijuana.

The film unfolds with two friends, Spanky (Rollin Perry) and Mert (Seth Cassell), who embody the archetype of lazy, directionless, and perpetually horny young men. Their world revolves around getting high, getting laid, and doing everything within their power to perpetuate their carefree lifestyles. However, the pair are far from successful in their escapades, often finding themselves in awkward and embarrassing situations rather than triumphant conquests.

The central plot kicks off when Spanky and Mert stumble across a special strain of weed, which is rumored to possess unique properties—it greatly enhances the sexual arousal of anyone who smokes it. This seemingly miraculous weed serves as the perfect bait for the duo, who believe they've found the ultimate key to unlock the desires of their female peers. Of course, this also sets up the film for a series of misadventures, as the pair attempts to exploit their discovery, often with unintended and ludicrous consequences.

The Marijuana is aptly called the 'Sex Pot,' and as one might guess, the boys dream of finally hitting it big with the ladies, thinking their newfound cannabis will essentially do all the work for them. They're convinced that this will be the solution to all of their problems, a fast-pass to the hearts (or beds) of the beautiful women they've been unsuccessfully pursuing.

Throughout the movie, Spanky and Mert's journey is intertwined with peculiar and farcical side characters, such as the women they're trying to impress. Amber and Barbie, played by Michelle Penick and Rana Davis respectively, are examples of these characters. They often serve as both the objects of the boys' misguided affections and the voices of reason that contrast the absurdity of the two protagonists. These women are not simple caricatures, however; they have their own personalities and often turn the tables on the bumbling Spanky and Mert.

Sex Pot is marked by its crass and often offensive brand of humor that is typical of low-brow stoner comedies of the era. Fans of films like "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" or the "American Pie" series might find a familiar, albeit less polished, comfort in the type of sex-driven shenanigans and marijuana-laced buffoonery that Sex Pot promises. It's chock full of allusions to pop culture and plays to the tropes of the genre with unabashed enthusiasm.

As the film progresses, it delivers a series of outlandish vignettes—a showcase of comedic scenarios constructed around the same central theme. Each new situation Spanky and Mert encounter seems wilder than the last, escalating in absurdity and always teetering on the edge of plausibility. From oddball drug dealers to unexpected run-ins with law enforcement, the narrative does not attempt to adhere to any sense of realism or dramatic tension. Rather, it relies on an ever-escalating series of comic mishaps intended to evoke laughter from its audience.

It’s important to note that Sex Pot, with its reliance on stereotyping and a narrow view of gender roles, often punches down with its humor. The film unabashedly objectifies women and caters to a male gaze, featuring busty and scantily-clad female characters who are primarily there to be ogled at by the male protagonists and, in turn, the presumed male audience. This is a point of criticism that has rightfully followed the movie since its release.

Technically speaking, the production value of Sex Pot reflects its direct-to-DVD nature and low budget. Don’t expect groundbreaking special effects or award-winning cinematography here. Instead, the movie finds its place relying on slap-stick routines and deliberately cheesy dialogue delivery to juxtapose its over-the-top predicaments. The soundtrack embraces a similarly playful approach, often underpinning scenes with music that heightens the absurdity of what's on screen.

In terms of legacy, Sex Pot has not emerged as a cult classic nor has it been hailed for any notable artistic contributions to the world of cinema. Instead, it quietly resides in the niche market for which it was intended—a late-night, unconventional laugh track for a specific audience that requires only a simple formula: lowbrow jokes, cannabis culture, and thinly-veiled innuendo. It’s a film that knows its audience and does not aspire to be more than what it is—an unpretentious, straightforward stoner comedy.

Sex Pot is a 2009 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 36 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 2.9.
