Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I've never smoked pot, but I understand that doing so habitually can destroy your brain cells. So can watching this misogynistic exercise in gratuitous vulgarity.The plot: a straight-laced college kid named Alistair (David Weidoff) inexplicably becomes roommates with three hop-headed losers —Larnell (John Patrick Jordan), Bachman (Mitch Eakins), and Brett (Brian Lloyd). You know they're big-time stoners because they have a broken wall clock stopped at 4:20. When Larnell brings a '60s-era bong into the house, it turns out to be cursed, sending anyone who takes a hit from it to an alternate dimension that features annoying music and pole-dancers with homicidal bras. The bong also talks, in the voice of a New Orleans voodoo priestess named Eebee. Her goal is to rule the world by enveloping it in a huge cloud of pot smoke. She's ambitious, I'll give her that.In the right hands, EVIL BONG might have been a clever and funny send-up of cannabis culture. Unfortunately, writer/director Charles Band confused humor with profanity-laced sexism. The so-called "jokes" here made PORKY'S look feminist. The film also contains mercenary cameos by characters from Band's other vehicles, none of which I've seen (or wish to). For those who give a damn, they include Tim Thomerson (TRANCERS), Bill Moseley (DEVIL REJECTS), Phil Fondacaro (DECADENT EVIL), and the monsters Ooga Booga (DOLL'S GRAVEYARD) and Gingerbread Man.About an hour into this dismal waste of celluloid, Tommy Chong turns up as the bong's original owner, Jimbo Leary. (That's about as clever as the film gets.) I've never found stoner humor amusing, and Chong's appearance here does nothing to change my opinion. Whatever his comedic talents, in this movie Tommy Chong was—pardon the expression—wasted.If you enjoyed the mindless teen-sex comedies of the '80s, you might just like EVIL BONG. As for me, I plan to destroy my DVD copy in a Pagan cleansing ritual.

My mum often picks up cheap horror movies she finds at yard sales for me, and sometimes she brings home those DVDs with a handful of horror movies on them that generally suck. But I was looking over one of them and noticed the title "Evil Bong." It's the only movie I've ever watched on the disc, and probably the only movie I've ever watched on ant of those DVDs. It's one of those movies were the plot is just so ridiculous, and the budget so low, that you laugh through the entire thing. A great movie to watch with a group of friends. If you enjoy the type of movies that are so bad they're good, I would recommend this to you. I've seen it about a dozen times and still put it on when I'm with friends. I can't believe there's more of them!

The only thing that i got out of this movie is wishing that i could give it a negative rating. This movie had absolutely no plot line behind it and in fact was an awful movie. The bad acting didn't quite help the movie out either. The fact that the movie seemed horrible i still gave it the benefit of the doubt and continued to watch it.This seeming to be a low budget filmed progressed horribly. The fact after the college boys entered into the bong were eaten alive by the strippers bras that were plastic look shark animals made the movie even worse. It makes you think why would the boys even buy the bong in the first place when the dead owner even said it was possessed? Don't waste your time unless you like movies like this.

First, I must stress that I only saw this flick with the sole purpose of giving a lousy-rated stoner-flick a chance just for the heck of it and I suppose there is no need to mention that I had close to non-existing expectations when I hit the play button on my remote control.Noteworthy is, that the low-budget feeling was definitely evident but not in a charming way such as 'Bad Taste' or anything like it, but more as though they, at times, were trying to put a vile upon the viewer and thus conceal the truth, investing the whole budget in bong equipment and fake ganja while letting the plot develop (without suspension) in a limited number of rooms (I will not tell you how many, as I might spoil your fun watching this). Not to shed light upon the characters, who were so stereotyped that the producers could never have been expecting even stoners to enjoy their flick, depicting stoners as being utterly dumb and only longing for the next hit and getting zoned out - an illustration of something I cannot imagine too many of us are able to confirm, with that said, keeping in mind that I hang around stoners myself.With the evil bong seizing control over the poor stoners and the way it was depicted, we all burst out of laughter, sort of agreeing in unison that the motives behind the flick were all but to enjoy stoners nor anyone else who might be into stoner flicks.Do yourself a favor and stay away from this flick unless you do not wish to carry out a task as mine defined: "watching a lousy-rated stoner-flick just to be able cry out 'I did it'" aloud - checked.2/10
