Peter Hadley, an uptight and disillusioned medical student is failed by one of his professors, who happens to be his father. Seeking some escape, Peter ends up in bed with a nightclub singer named Bogart, who invites him on a road trip to Humboldt County. It is here that he meets and is embraced by Bogart s eccentric marijuana farming family. When Bogart leaves Peter stranded, he begins a new journey of his own.

I lived in Humboldt for 20 years and miss it so I was hoping for more visits to places I love. I assumed the story would be as lame as all the rest of the movies made about Humboldt. It was worse. I skipped through most of it to escape the drawn-out, boring, soulless, scenes. The dude never learned any real lessons. In the end he doesn't even have the courage to talk to his dad. I'm really sick of the "marijuana" stereotype about Humboldt. Yeah, there's good weed but the bigger picture is organic agriculture on a broader scale which is sustainable vs the common ag scene in California. The plight of the redwoods being sacrificed for short-tern profits is also an important Humboldt story that was not recognized. And what about Reggae on the River and the electronic music scene? What a weak movie. I could go on and on.

The Lost Coast is heaven on earth and the ending is perfect (CONTAINS SPOILERS)

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2018

Do yourself a favor, watch this film and visit the Lost Coast. It truly is a magical place that I never heard of until I watched this film. The filming locations they chose truly capture the beauty and character of Humboldt County, although it rains a lot in the winter. I could watch this movie just for the scenery alone. I wish there were more shots of the Trinidad beaches, although Luffenholtz is my favorite place for watching the waves crash. Peter and Max should've gone on a hike down College Cove or Trinidad State Park before Peter just randomly decides he wants to smoke pot and ditch the sweater vest because those are the places that helped me embrace the Humboldt culture.

This film is more than just a bunch of hippies sitting around smoking pot. It is about the struggle of finding that healthy balance of structure and relaxation. Peter and Max are on the opposite ends of the spectrum, but as the film progresses they start to learn from each other and start to doubt their current lifestyles. We find that Max grows pot to give his daughter a more structured and stable life that he doesn't have and Peter rejects the residency because he knows that he isn't happy with rigid schedules and constant studying. Throughout the film, Jack seems to enjoy the carefree Humboldt lifestyle, but once Max dies he realizes he's wasted the last 25 years of his life doing pointless research.

I think the ending of this film was perfect. I've always been a fan of films that have an open end where you can create your own ending. I believe that Peter had no idea where that bus was heading, and he was hoping to find his next new, random adventure wherever that bus took him. Every time I watch this film, I am reminded that I need to stop worrying about everyday life and know that things have a way of working out in the end.

Great cast but too much script lost on cutting room floor and ho-hum directing

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

I rented this because I wanted to see Jeremy Strong (Succession) in an earlier role. The whole cast is wonderful, especially Brad Dourif and Chris Messina and Strong has some good moments. But the improbable intensity of the relationships formed in---how much time?? a few days??--just isn't on the screen; it was either cut out of the script before filming or wound up on the cutting room floor to make the film short enough for theatrical release. Or could it be, like hey, maybe I got a contact high and nodded off during the critical scenes where all that bonding was supposed to be happening? Naw. I was wide-awake and attentive--it's not there. Unfortunately. There could have been something quirky, moving, interesting. Instead, the story arc is predictable and under-developed. Yeah, beautiful scenery; yeah, interesting sub-culture; yeah, good cast. But the directing is dull, the editing is unimaginative, the writing falls short. I wanted to like it and liked a few moments of it, but it's one of those "promising but misses" kinds of film.

Is this a cult classic? It should be. Wonderful, interesting, well written, movie. All the actors are excellent. Intelligent, engaging, heartfelt. A rare combination.

Worth watching for Chris Messina's brilliant performance.

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2015

Unlike so many posters here, I didn't see this as a movie about pot, pro or con. That's just the milieu. I saw it as a tragedy. It is about what happens when you are brought up in an environment isolated from the world, know only one way of life, and can't escape from it. It could have been about the Amish and still have the same message. Chris Messina steals every movie he's in, and the movie is worth it for his performance alone. Although he is better than the movie itself, I gave it four stars because I think more people need to discover Messina as more than just a supporting actor or Danny Castellano. He's one of our finest actors.

Excelent Movie

Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2012

I've always heard of Humboldt County as the place where some of the finest cannabis is grown for medicinal & recreational use. But watching the film, which filmed in Humboldt County or as they say the Emerald Triangle was amazing. I got a glimpse of how beautiful the area is in northern Cali. The actors and actresses did a wonderful job, showing how the main character studied and worked himself until he started getting burned out and how he finally met up, through Bogart, with a family of pot growers. It is thought provoking in the sense that the rat race will eat up your life before you know it and no amount of money can compensate for lost years. The movie made you care for the characters, which is somewhat rare now-a-days, no blowing things up no CGI effects ect, just people interating with each other and some circumstances that are brought up throughout the film. To the writers/producers/directors great job, to the cast excellent job. I for one am jaded with the insubstantial garbage that are called movies, which ends up becoming background noise. Glad this film was made....

It starts and runs a bit slow and relaxed for the most part, but is well worth the viewing. Excellent characters and very well acted.
