David M @Livemeyer May 10 This film is so unfocused, I can't tell if there's a script or if McConaughey is just riffing the entire time (and the poor editing style makes me believe its the latter). The bad moments in this film, which should be taken as really bad, totally life changing (like Isla Fisher's character dying) are taken so lightly as to be akin to a shoulder shrug. I guess that's the whole point - the movie is saying "hey everyone, just lighten up!" Sadly, that attitude can't carry the entire movie. See more Atilla T @Treviewd1nce Feb 24 Insane. Best line is when reckless father says to responsible daughter when did you become a Republican. Script scenes was not quilted well together. Didn't understand purpose of movie which might have been the point. Also, actors Snoop, Matthew, Fishers other than Efron & Hill couldn't go 110% into their roles. You sensed their personal and censor limits. There are great movies made even with actors and censorship limits you don't sense while watching. You heard agent's (Hill) voice speaking without lips moving. Pineapple Express and Harold & Kumar are better movies. Best thing about The Beach Bum movie is soundtrack. Probably need to smoke one to enjoy movie which is a sad. See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Aug 5 This is not a good movie. The cover looks so good, but the movie is so bad!

At times it succeeds in some humour or characterization, almost in spite of itself, but for the most part it is a directionless bore. It’s a shame because the talent involved in this film is very impressive, but unfortunately the actors are severely underutilized in a silly, plotless, druggie motion picture.
