Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: An uneven, intermittently likable movie about a group of Portland residents for whom getting high is a way of life.
Rotten: The picture is mainly a series of smoky, elliptical character sketches that range in quality from zippily funny to inert.
Customer Reviews
very likable movie
This film is like the pre-cursor to Portlandia as it takes place in Portland and is an odd comedy. It is sort of like a mash-up of Wes Anderson meets Cheech and Chong movies. It's not a broad comedy, more of a deadpan and subtle look at Portland subculture in the 90s. There are also tons of good one- liners in the film and is a very likable movie. Richard Sears successfully piques one's curiosity from the beginning. I'm amazed by how overlooked this movie apparently is. Bongwater has a couple of dark moments, but is overall a very funny movie in the comedic vein of Seinfeld. Solid performance from Luke Wilson, and Jack Black cameo. See it to laugh about the absurd little things in life.
Awesome
This movie is and will always be a classic in my eyes. Luke Wilson will always be one of my favorite actors. I'm going to rent this and watch it over and over again.
A Likeable Mashup!!!
Another chance to see Brittany Murphy. That's already a good enough reason to watch this romantic comedy. However all throughout the one-and-a-half-hours, you'll find plenty more reasons to enjoy this likeable mash-up... including Jack Black!
