I really enjoy this movie because I totally wasn't anticipating a stoner movie. It's not like cheech and chong or harold and kumar. It's not funny or stupid or pointless wacky humor like those other movies. I like to describe it as a romance that makes more sense if you watch it as if it were a comedy. It's totally a literary movie, actually it was originally a book. It has the feel of a book that is more about character than story as it kind of wanders around aimlessly just like you do when you are a 20-something. It totally represents the hipster vibe and culture of Portland back in the 90s too which is interesting to see. If you like independent films like Candy or Slacker, you'll love Bongwater.
