    4 out of 5 stars great bad movie   February 1, 2010
    Michael R. Sparkman
    if you are a true fan of the 'B' movie..you'll love it! Cheesy stoner plot with a all star actor line up. Funny as hell, just a little slow to start. and if you have seen it, what is up with the Aliens..?


    1 out of 5 stars Redefines Unwatchable   January 14, 2010
    James Burke (San Francisco)
    I was floored by this film's singular, unrelenting awfulness: This is surely one of the 100 worst movies ever made.

    My god, where to begin. It is painfully unfunny, glacially paced, and ponderously, brutally dull. If there's a plot or a point, I have no idea what it was. A nicely assembled cast is completely wasted, no pun intended; everyone spends 99 percent of the movie getting stoned while babbling the most inane, contrived dialogue imaginable. If they speak at all; star Luke Wilson spends most of the movie lighting a bong, staring into space, shuffling from one room to the next, or making out with someone for no apparent reason. Jack Black was a high point, but he simply gave a weak performance of a Tenacious D number - he's been better in virtually everything he's ever done.

    Amazingly, none of these is the film's biggest flaw. That would be Alicia Witt's Serena, perhaps the most excruciatingly unbearable character to ever disgrace the big screen. She's arrogant, rude, condescending, petty, stupid, jealous, unstable, and jawdroppingly self-obsessed. She is profoundly unemployed, utterly useless, and seems quite determined never to do anything that might benefit anyone other than herself, yet she is always exquisitely dressed and perfectly quaffed, probably because she's willing to shamelessly leech off of anyone surrounding her -- and give them grief about it in the process. And as if the director sensed she might not be unbearable enough, she even carves her name in everyone's furniture. Simply, she's The. Worst.

    Yet, she is presented as the film's love interest, and despite the fact that she tried to thwart Wilson's art career, ran off to New York with a junkie in a jealous fit, and LET HIS HOUSE BURN DOWN, he cannot resist her "charms."

    Why? Why indeed. Why this disaster was ever made is another question. I've had the displeasure of watching this twice, once when it came out and again a decade later, and it remains the definition of unwatchable. If nothing else, it's an effective anti-drug film (smoke pot and you could end up sucking as much as these people) and a two-hour synopsis of why the '90s was the worst decade EVER. (A hilarious, unintended irony is that the only time anyone in this film has a bit of fun is at an '80s party.)

    If given a choice between sitting through this or gouging your eyes out, gouge away.



    5 out of 5 stars The movie is interesting, but it isn't funny   January 13, 2010
    Carol Hunt
    I watched this movie on cable one night. I have never seen anything like it before. The movie is designed to break stereotypical patterns that reoccur in film. You see that from the start when the hero in the story is a stoner that doesn't want to be one. He isn't the perfect, desirable man. In layman's terms, he is a looser. Luke Wilson does not fit the role of a stoner, and by everything that I can see in the film, he really isn't intended to fit the role. He is more of a lost soul hanging around friends that he doesn't want and doesn't' need. The contention in the movie is that he comes into contact with Witt, and doesn't want to throw her away even though she is a mess and problematic for him. Wilson often plays these characters that cling to an unconventional lover because of empathy with their condition. We saw this same role in Home Fries, the Royal Tenebums, and Idiocracy.

    Alicia Witt's character is really the lead character in this film, which has duel main characters. Wilson's character is messed up when Witt's character begins hanging around the house. The entire movie revolves around the personality of Alicia Witt that is playing a Gemini that cannot keep herself out of trouble. If you don't get the astrology, you won't like the film. The whole film revolves around Witt's character traits; she is clever, likes to tinker, cannot shut up, and lies. She claims she is a Pisces when she is not because she enjoys trickery. She also gets herself into trouble because she likes to play games and cannot handle boredom. If you do not enjoy that aspect of the movie, there is nothing to this film.

    I would say that the strong points of the movie are the realistic sex relationships, Witt's character, and the inclusion of couples that are not heterosexual. It is intended to look like an average neighborhood with people that behave more realistically than typical love stories. They have enormous problems and are not where they want to be in their lives. I am not sure how this film is going to pull off a comedy; some of the scenes are amusing because life is somewhat amusing at times. No comedy that I know includes a rape scene and it isn't entirely a comedic show. If the film displays any meaningful message at all it is that of people living their lives, while the movie portrays a negative image of drug users, and it is not intended to condone drug use. It is more or less emphasizing the positive traits of people who partake in a liberal culture while also depicting what is wrong with stoning. I like the film.



    5 out of 5 stars Bongwater is sweet   August 16, 2009
    Mary E. Higgins
    I really enjoy this movie because I totally wasn't anticipating a stoner movie. It's not like cheech and chong or harold and kumar. It's not funny or stupid or pointless wacky humor like those other movies. I like to describe it as a romance that makes more sense if you watch it as if it were a comedy. It's totally a literary movie, and if you like independent films like Candy or Slacker, you'll love Bongwater.


    2 out of 5 stars BONG WATER STINKS! 1 1/2 STARS   June 15, 2008

    Jack Black, Andy Dick and Co. do what they can in this pointless and goofy movie. As stoner films go this one just doesn't have many laughs or story for that matter. If you like stoner films, stick to the early Cheech & Chong films. Andy Dick made me laugh a few times, but that's about it. Black has a small role, but he makes his presence known as usual.
