That's right, I said it. Maryjane is an awesome movie, whats not to like? It has everything you could want in a semi-anti-marijuana propaganda film. Fabian plays an art teacher named Phil Blake, Phil is wise beyond his years. He can really set the young guys straight without coming off as a square. Jordan Bates doesn't think so, you see, Jordan Bates is apparently the Alpha bad ass of this particular High school, and not only that but his girlfriend is the bad seed. Not to mention Jordan has a posse, conveniently called Maryjane, so nobody but nobody messes with this man, with the exception of the big bad boys from Bay city, of course. Did I mention Jordan & his posse do a lot of pots, and they even push it, Jeepers!! But don't forget Lonely Jer. Jerry is a loner, but not by choice, Jerry doesn't seem to fit in anywhere. Everyones gotta fit in somewhere, Jer, says Phil. Well, I guess some place won't cut it, Jerry wants to be in Maryjane but unfortunately he hasn't the brains, ambition or guts to qualify for a such a prestigious clique. After tracking them down Jordan lets Jerry do some of their pots, as it would be a ball. Naturally, Jerry gets sick, because that's what happens when you do that sort of thing, Just ask Phil Blake. Meanwhile, our teacher is starting to fall for a co-worker he just recently met, and she doesn't even seem like she even wants him as an acquaintance. Come to think of it, Eli doesn't seem to care much for anything, oh well, the ice queens opinion of Phil is the least of his worries because the school faculty and some cop are totally ticked at him. They want him to join them in spying on the stoner's, but our teacher has too much integrity to do something like that, the stoner's trust is far more important to him than their lives. If that didn't ruffle everyones feathers enough, our teacher actually admits to "trying it in college, once". He actually thought they were intelligent enough to view it in it's proper context, oh well, this just isn't Phil's day, but our teacher is maintaining his cool. Unfortunately, Phil's night wouldn't be much of an improvement, because Phil is inadvertently framed for possession of marijuana by Jordan after a mix up involving Jerry and his quest for acceptance. Our teacher is now behind bars, with dope fiends and other riffraff. No worries, because Eli, the ice queen bails him out for no apparent reason. Now that he's out of jail it doesn't take our teacher long to discover that it is in fact Jordan Bates that's ruining everyones lives with pots. Meanwhile, Jordan is in fear of getting his head busted by the big bad boys from bay city, because, our teacher has wisely intercepted their stash of Acapulco gold. What is poor Jordan to do? Hey!! I know why not get that kid Jerry really stoned and send him with some wizard weed and hopefully they'll think he smoked the good stuff, and they'll kill him. Besides solving everything, it would be a ball. Hey great idea!! so thats what they do, but Jordans girlfriend, the bad seed doesn't like it, so he turns on her, it's all down hill from here. After confronting the ice queen, Phil discovers she is indeed no ice queen, Eli is a heroin addict. A heroin addict that maintains her addiction by providing pots to Jordan, what a world we live in!! And it's only 1968. From here on out, the name of the game is saving Jerry from getting killed, taking down Jordan Bates would be damn near impossible for most men, but not our teacher. a single backhand to the face did him in, you should have seen him, it was keen!! Phil, along with a teary-eyed, defeated Jordan find Jerry, half-beaten to death. Phil leaves Jordan there, so that "the boys" can bust his head, and probably kill him. Our teacher now carries Jerry away from the chaos, Jer is now finished with Maryjane, because he had a teacher that cared, we should all be so lucky.
what I want to know is, how long Fabian stood there holding Jerry in his arms and looking into his eyes after the credits. LOL
I honestly can't recommend this film enough, the acting is decent, the characters are likable, and there really isn't a dull moment that I can think of. Besides that, Maryjane is a chillin little movie with a subtle cheesiness and innocence that's kind of refreshing. Also, Maryjane doesn't spend a lot of time misleading the audience about pot, at least not to the extent of something outlandish like Reefer Madness, or Blood Freak. I would recommend Maryjane to anyone who likes anti-weed movies, pro-weed movies, or even just weed. Good luck finding it. 8/10 for Maryjane and an A+ for Fabian.
