A sensitive and rich adaptation of Matthew McConaughey's police report from that time he was arrested for playing bongos naked while stoned

Very funny and almost deliberately not much else. Entirely lacks the acid of SPRING BREAKERS or the demented fear of TRASH HUMPERS in favor of a weirdly bleak stoner comedy about a man who fails upward so much that he even fails to self destruct. A complete joke, sometimes…

Weird but funny
Alexis Vega likedThe Beach BumWhile this movie is utterely ridiculous on so many levels, I found it oringinal & familiar. It is a bizarre experience that at times left me feeling a bit whimsical. We all have known or at least met a Moondog.
Jimmy Cricket likedThe Beach BumA good hangout film that merges a stoner comedy with an existential drama. While funny it can be silly at times. McConaughey is really great it in.

I saw this last night. Don’t waste your money it was boring, stupid and a waste of time.I left 45 minutes bingo it because it was horrible. Don’t even stream this.
SDSara DenickI’d give it zero stars if that was one of the choices here.
DLDoan LoNon linear storytelling, visually stunning!

So unbelievably stupid. The same joke over and over and over for an hour and a half
CECody EnosIts...Interesting.
PLPaul LiebmanTerrible. Left after 15 min

What was that? The movie had no plot.
JDJay DownsIt may be interesting to a stoner, but to a normal person it was horrible. I kept waiting for something good to happen, but no luck. We left.
JFJorgie FernandezBeing familiar with where the movie takes place, the movie’s shots captured the bright lights and mellow beaches perfectly. McConaughey’s acting nailed it for the most part, but sometimes it was just a little too much. Movie lacks a solid story to keep the ball rolling and…

McConaughey dives headfirst into the well here, howling all the way, and his committed performance is one to admire even if it’s not one to like.

Though Korine (Spring Breakers) doesn’t figure out how to make his protagonist breathe (at least smokelessly), he does do a commendable job of making the Florida Keys come alive with sunshine, pastel colours and partying.

[McConaughey]’s so entertaining, in fact, that it takes nearly the entirety of “The Beach Bum” to fully absorb how little else there is to the film once the initial high of basking in Moondog’s perma-stoned glory wears off.
