I had a very strange feeling while watching this movie: It could have been a "real life" movie if the script, and the characters, weren't so incoherent. And the fact that they are on drugs doesn't justify all this nonsense. It' not a comedy..it's not really a drama neither... don't really know what to think of it..but it' is so,so sad, those youngs people are living a pointless life with no future, and those characters are all totally lost and hurting each other so much..but it's filmed as if it was just a normal life. It made me feel really uncomfortable. It's hard to explain myself because I am not a native english speaker.

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.

My wife told me about this movie many years ago and every other month since then. So, my friend bought it for her so we could see it and to shut her up about it. We found that it is a really great mid to late nineties feeling movie with real emotion(that which comes from our side of the screen where we found ourselves wanting to beat the *&#^ out of Serina). Ah, to move on, it was a nicely done and very funny movie. Great job to the director Richard Sears, and to the nubile cast(that's why you are all famous now). I recommend this movie to all of those people that enjoy b-rate films with that little extra something... If the day ever comes where I were able to make a movie at some caliber equal to this, I would truly be happy. I wish that I could find more by this director too. Everything seems to be so very vague on the internet, and the book I acquired for distribution co's, doesn't have any order information on his movies either. Perhaps I need to talk to the guy that was looking up Mr. Sears contact information or Mr. Sears himself. So...

Fans of movies such as "Half-Baked", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas", and "Orgazmo", should see this once in their lifetime. Don't be fooled by poor reviews. This movie is the best vehicle for Jack Black's obscure comedy I have seen to date (07/2005). Inter character relationships and general plot progression are over emphasized and simplified in a camp like fashion that, reminds me "Cheech and Chong". Sometimes this is done at a sacrifice to depth, but come on if I wanted to watch "Fight Club" or "Lord of the Rings" I would have. This movie only does one thing well, as so many movies do today, but that doesn't make it dull. I recommend this only to viewers who want to have some friends over, eat a big meal, get "into" the movie, and laugh at potheads being potheads.
