The Beach Bum

Ok, sure it's a stoner movie.  Matthew McConaughy, Snoop Dogg, Jonah Hill, Zac Efron, Isla Fisher, and Martin Lawrence are all here for the ride.  But what in the fuck was the point here. McConaughy's character Moondog is so stoned the whole time and I suspect, he and everyone were on set.  Don't get me wrong, Matthew is perfect for the role here, but it is so overplayed and wrought with excess, that it can't be anchored by anything or anyone else.  Whatever carefree living point was attached to some semblance of a questionable plot here, The Beach Bum, did not quite make it with flying colors and it seems like such a waste of a film, however much fun the cast may have had.
