Editorial Reviews

From the Back Cover

Struggling artist David (Luke Wilson, Battle Rocket, Charlie's Angels) has big plans for his life... except he can't exactly remember what they are. When slinky, sassy Serena (Alicia Witt, Urban Legend) waltzes into his life things take a definite turn for the better-until his house burns down and she bolts to New York with a wannabe rock star (Jamie Kennedy, Scream. While Serena frolics back east, lovesick David gets by with a little help from his friends... like singing farmer (Jack Black, High Fidelity), hilariously sarcastic (Andy Dick, Newsradio) and oversexed rich girl (Brittany Murphy, Clueless). If Serena ever returns, someone's gonna get a rude awakening, as this raucous comedy hurtles toward an outrageous and unexpected finish!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cheech and Chong vs Wes Anderson, January 6, 2003

By	Gordon Smith (san jose, ca United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bongwater: Dude Check This Out [VHS] (VHS Tape)

OK, if you understand the above reference, you probably have already seen this movie. It's part dry, tongue in cheek wit, part sloppy stoner humor. It totally satifies on both accounts, although it may insult or confuse folks who are only accustomed to one of the two styles involved. After all, it's more high-brow than the C&C folks are used to and looser and more fun than the Royal Rushmore Rocketeers may be able to stomach. All in all it's an awesome little movie based on a great little book by Michael Hornburg.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ring ding ding ding ding ring ding ding ding ding..., January 12, 2006

By	SuperJenn (South Florida) - See all my reviews

A few years or so ago, I discovered this movie on cable. The title of Bongwater caught my attention and I had to see what it was about. Little did I ever suspect that it would become one of my favorite silly movies. Bongwater has an incredible cast though it doesn't seem like they had much of a budget. That's why I give it 4 stars as I think some things in the movie could have been fleshed out more. Jack Black is hilarious as the woodsy pot farmer, hence what I titled this review. If you haven't seen it yet, you'll see what I mean! Jamie Kennedy and Andy Dick also crack me up in this flick. Pull out the bong and pack it up...Bongwater is a great stoner flick you'll enjoy. Consider it a burnout bonus!

5.0 out of 5 stars Why not let the general public see this......because of drug use?, May 30, 2006

By	J. Shadley - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been wanting to see this movie for years. I finally found a copy[...], of all places. Why doesnt any walk-in rental store rent this out? They rent out Cheech & Chong movies, but not this? Gimme a break, Hollywood & Blockbuster!! This movie isnt even glorifying drug use, like Cheech & Chong. Instead it is about finding yourself! The performences by Luke Wilson, Brittney Murphy, Jack Black, Andy Dick, and Jeremy Sisto are oscar worthy. Not to mention Alisia Witt.......HOT!! Highly Recommended!! And, you dont even have to be buzzed to watch this. Its that good!
