Evil Bong

This movie is pretty much self explanatory, just like "Snakes On A Plane" This movie is these people who get a bong, that is nothing but pure evil, and it sucks in the people, into a "trip" where they are at a strip club, and things go their way, until they get like "killed" The movie idea, is pretty dumb, and the story is pretty lame, but the actors and the actions make it better... I'm not saying the acting is all that good, but its a movie that entertains any person who is a teenager and/or druggie. I never watched this while I was on anything, nor do I plan too, but I bet it is way more entertaining if you are. Definitely a recommendation movie for those who love to smoke pot.

Unique venture from Charles Band's Wizard Entertainment and directed by Band himself. The tale of a bunch of drug taking dudes getting hold of a bong that takes them to a weird 'Bong World' is imaginative but poorly plotted and quite tiresome. Cast is good, especially Robin Sydney and Kristyn Green as the female leads. Cameos link to other Full Moon films, Jack Deth finds himself lost in Bong World but fails to achieve any Trancing. Ugly doll from 'Doll Graveyard' pops up (kinda literally) and Gingerdead Man (here voiced by John Carl Buechler). Little Phil (as in Fondacaro) seems to be looking for vampires again and Bill Moseley poddles around looking lost. I suspect Tommy Chong was cast because of the obvious rhyming promotional abilities with him on board. Given little to do, he is (cue joke drugs reference) wasted. Not really a horror or Sci Fi, this is just another Pauly Shore film without Shore and with a vague aspect of what usually makes Full Moon films work. Witless, Charmless and Irritating in equal measures - almost sad to watch because of it.

I read a review of beerfest where evil bong was mentioned and thought that sounds like the sort of movie I like to torture my hon with and looked it up, yes it sounded perfect. A couple of days later we sat down to watch it and it was just like it sounded, but in saying that I have to also say I was more amused and entertained by it than the last half dozen movies I've seen. The basic premise is into a flat\dorm full of adolescent male stoner\muscle man\surfer types a nerd is introduced, hijinks ensue, the difference is an evil bong that tries to kill the foursome by sucking their souls after a session. The acting was so so and the special effects what ones there were weren't that impressive but it was really funny in places and tommy chongs cameo at the end was worth the wait. So if you have a couple hours to kill and have had a big toke and want to lay back and veg watch this.

This movie isn't funny or good. I can't believe there are six more of them.

Stoners certainly have been fodder for many jokes when it comes to comedy. And this movie keeps up the tradition, with an appropriately laid back feel to it. It takes a while to get where it's going, and, truth be told, it gets tiresome at points, but does redeem itself by generating some genuine chuckles. Straight laced college student Alistair (David Weidoff) moves in with a trio of stoners, one of whom purchases a bong from a seller in High Times, a bong that turns out to be an ancient, evil entity (voiced with relish by Michelle Mais) determined to put the whole human race in a permanent stupor. It's up to Alistair to make the world safe for people who want the freedom to get stoned if and when they want. Sometimes this movie falls flat, but it definitely has its moments, too. A distinct goof ball vibe and an overall likability make it passable enough. It ain't no "Up in Smoke", but it ain't so bad, either. It's got frequent scene transitions that give it the feel of a TV show, which is silly but hard to dislike. It really hits its stride with the arrival of the perfectly cast Tommy Chong, as Jimbo, the previous owner of the bong (the thing was sold without his knowledge) who knows the dangers of the object. The young cast is amiable enough; female co-stars Robin Sydney as Luann and Kristyn Green as Janet make for fine eye candy, and in fact there's a fair amount of bare female flesh for fans, with some notable designer bras. There are special guest appearances from the likes of Phil Fondacaro (a Full Moon veteran), Tim Thomerson, once again essaying the role of Jack Deth (uttering the immortal line "Dry hair is for squids."), and Bill Moseley, but these guys are seen so briefly one will likely wish the filmmakers gave them more to do. (The Gingerdead Man makes a cameo as well!) Still, this is an engaging enough comedy - modest, to be sure - but easy to take and pretty innocuous in the end. Six out of 10.
