Waffffa The stoner theme is not all that Bongwater is about, it's a piece of unusual comedy and romance, with a quirky attitude. Each of the characters as well had a certain quirky quality as part of that attitude.David-Serena is definitely not your typical love story, but it worked as an adorable touch. The movie might not be your cup of tea, if you consider those different elements but the humor was there, the performances were solid and the romance was believable.After all, the movie still had a sense of reality to it. It gives a friendly and likable vibe, but perhaps it's something the public is not used to which explains the harsh numbers.7/10

Alem Spago I have seen this movie three nights ago and I can honestly tell you I liked it. If you are wondering should you watch it or not - I would suggest you to consider the situation and circumstances the first. "Bongwater" is not kind of a movie you would like to see with your girlfriend or after a family gathering evening. From the other side - if you are sitting there with your friends looking for a movie to brighten your evening up, or if you are alone maybe - go for it! "Bongwater" seems like a typical stoner's' movie, but I believe it's much beneath that. Calling it such would be equal to calling "That 70s Show" typical stoner's' stuff, hence this TV series became sort of a cult. "Bongwater" is kind of a movie that is going to make you laugh out loud while tickling your imagination about the same thing you are laughing at. If you see through it couple of times I believe you will find it much deeper than it seems at the first glance.David, starred by Luke Wilson, is a small-pocket, short-run dope dealer. The movie follows his ups and downs with emphasis on his unhappy relationship with Serena. Things are turning from bad to worse as movie progresses, in emerging ironic manner. If you are in a mood to laugh, brace yourselves. I found whole movie quite funny myself. Few scenes really knocked socks off my feet and I didn't expect to see that kind of scenes inside a movie produced back in late 90s.Bongwater is a great stuff to watch on a guys' night or if you are alone and wondering what to watch to make you cheerful. I am taking it three points away for slightly blurry plot at few places, as you will see it yourself. You might lose your end of the rope here and there as the plot is running down the rabbit hole and story switches ups and downs unexpectedly fast.If you want to laugh - you got it. If you want to relax - you got that one as well. In case you are looking for some sort of "Da Vinci's Code" stuff - look elsewhere.

ericathompson910 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, actually it was originally a book. It has the feel of a book that is more about character than story as it kind of wanders around aimlessly just like you do when you are a 20-something. It totally represents the hipster vibe and culture of Portland back in the 90s too which is interesting to see. If you like independent films like Candy or Slacker, you'll love Bongwater.

Tom O'Malley It seems like most of the other reviews are hit or miss. That's okay -- I LOVE it! In fact, everyone I show it to also loves it. Contrary to popular belief, you don't even need to be under the influence of anything to enjoy a classic like 'Bong Water' although I'm sure it doesn't hurt. The music, writing and production quality are good but the cast is the real show- stopper for me. It's a hilarious opportunity to see some of my favorite stars in a role you might not normally expect. You've got Luke Wilson, Jack Black, Andy Dick, Brittany Murphy, Jamie Kennedy, Scoot Caan and Kyle Gass together on one screen, in a movie about pot. I highly recommend giving this movie a chance!
