"...The hysterical drug-buddy performances of Brittany Murphy, Andy Dick, and Jack Black really make this joint roll..." 06/01/2001 p.69Guide to DVD Review 7 of 10
Bongwater is one of those films that probably didn't seem sellable a few years ago, but now that the stars involved have gone on to bigger and better things, it gets a minimal release in an attempt to gain interest from home vid audiences. An adaption of Michael Hornburg's 1996 novel of the same name, Bongwater stars Luke Wilson as David, a low-level pot dealer in love with Serena (Alicia Witt). The opening of the film has the two breaking up - we're then told in flashback how everything up until that point happened...Bongwater was amusing to watch in terms of seeing all of these performers in early roles, but the story didn't really go anywhere or did the characters provide much interest. Image's DVD provides fine audio/video quality and nothing much in terms of extras. May be worth a rental for those who are interested in seeing these stars early on.
