I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

What a waste of a great cast. Figured I'd check it out because it looked like a good stoner comedy with a lot of fairly well-known actors. What it turned out to be was a pointless collection of boring intertwining stories about several characters with minimal connections with each other. Characters who start off looking like decent people but end up with not a single likable or interesting characteristic among them. Calling it a comedy was a stretch as well...the only thing that made me chuckle was Jack Black's song, which was basically Tenacious D. I waited for something big to happen but ended up with nothing more than 97 minutes of my life wasted.

I liked this movie. It is very subtle and kind of vague but that makes it more realistic to me, because real life isn't like "American Pie" or "Reality Bites", it is sometimes slow, vague, and doesn't go from point A to B with one single plot or any continuity. It also seems a little less contrived than it's contemporaries such as "Slackers", "Chasing Amy", etc. I knew a guy that rented this movie with his Wife and her sister and they hated it while he liked it and sure enough they divorced within 2 months. So this movie was at least powerful enough to make them realize the differences in themselves, and if a movie is at least partially responsible for a divorce that makes it better than most of the garbage that Hollywood chucks out to the public.

It starts out looking like it may be going somewhere, then quickly leads the main characters into a three-ring circus of remarkable stupidity which permanently destroys any likability of the characters. I'm a huge collector of stoner movies, but this is something I would not consider a valid addition. Bong Water is trash from the very deepest regions of the dumpster, and I wouldn't be caught dead with this on my shelf. I'm actually convinced this movie was created by a Partnership for A Drug Free America. If you're a Jack Black fan then I would say that you may think 5 minutes of the movies is OK because Jack Black continues his legacy of singing songs for retards. I really can't say enough bad things about this movie.

As opposed to the comment on the front page, this movie is no doubt ingenious. While, admittedly, I STILL don't know what the hell was going on in the movie, I watch it often with a select group of friends under special circumstances no doubt. You can't watch a movie like this and get the full enjoyment unless your state of mind is..."tuned" for it. Under correct circumstances, this movie will have you asking all your friends "WTF was that?...." Somebody that watches this movie didn't decide to watch it based on the cover, They decided to watch it based on the title....In other words, If your a part of the "stoner" culture, this movie is a must-see....
