Bongwater (1998)

  • What's it about?: A weed dealer (Luke Wilson) and a crazy chick get into a brief relationship and then breakup. We then watch as they go on their separate journeys.
  • Thoughts: It's ok. I can't really bring myself to care about the main relationship, it just seems a bit toxic. Also there doesn't seem to be much pacing, I just feel like I'm wandering aimlessly while watching this. The soundtrack is cool though, especially the song Jack Black sings.
  • Rating: 6/10
  • Recommendation: Maybe
  • Tier: C
Supporting Characters
Devlin
Jack Black
Luke Wilson's friend who runs a stoner retreat in the woods.

Other notable actors: Luke Wilson, Alicia Witt, Brittany Murphy, Andy Dick, Jeremy Sisto, Jamie Kennedy
