Reception[edit]
Bobby LePire of Film Threat gave the film an overwhelmingly negative review. " Full Moon clearly knows how to tap into what the audience of marijuana-loving movie buffs want in these silly comedies, as The Gingerweed Man marks the ninth entry in the Evil Bong universe, including the crossover Gingerdead Man Vs. Evil Bong. Plus, they've created several titles independent of the franchise dealing in similar humor, notably, the Award This winning Weedjies! Halloweed Night, which I gave an 8.5 to on this very site. But, whatever magic they once were able to capture is entirely lost here. Make no mistake, this is one of the worst, if not the very worst, film Charles Band has ever produced. Nothing goes right here, not even by accident. Writer/director Brooks Davis makes his debut with this movie, and his inexperience is evident throughout. Most scenes in this less than an hour-long production are static, medium coverage shots, with the actors walking into the frame to start the action. It's dull visually. The terrible puppetry work of both Gingerweed and Buddy does not help matters, as Buddy's stick moving him about is evident and the moments he is a CGI ball bouncing around is appalling to view."[2]
