Bongwater is a 1997 comedy film, based on the book of the same name, set in Portland, Oregon, USA and stars Luke Wilson, Alicia Witt, Amy Locane, Brittany Murphy, Jack Black, Andy Dick, Jeremy Sisto, and Jamie Kennedy.

The plot centers on a lazy pot dealer (Wilson) who is a painter with little to no aspirations. He meets a quirky, beautiful, free-spirited girl (Witt), who turns his life around, and not always for the good. He manages to get her out of his life when she moves to New York, but he can't get her off his mind. The movie also follows her adventures in New York City where she hooks up with a gun-toting rock star (Jamie Kennedy).

The movie features the Tenacious D song, Jesus Ranch, performed by Jack Black's character, Devlin, an acid-head buddy of Wilson.
