Surfer, Dude
Surfer, Dude tells the story of soul-searching Steve Addington, the world's preeminent surfer - cool, laid back, stoned, shirtless and barefoot, who experiences an existential crisis when no waves come for over a month.

The number of artistically successful surfing movies can be counted on one hand, and the majority of those are documentaries.

It felt like we were watching a rough cut.

Willie and ganja, yes, yes, the cliches abound.

I wish the finished product was as amusing as the behind-the-scenes pot-fueled merriment I imagine took place during production.

The problem that Surfer, Dude faces is that in its attempt to be a stoner comedy, it forgot to add the comedy elements.

The film looks more like a collection of home movies as opposed to a professional piece of cinema.

[A] hapless, laughless movie.

A celebration of unrealistic lifestyles, which makes it exactly the wrong film for our times. [Blu-ray]
September 12, 2008
Yes, this is a movie made by stoners for stoners.

Surfer, Dude is a bizarre throwback. It feels 25-30 years out of date and seems to be meant to be watched on VHS, oops, make that DVD, while stoned.

The movie is about a surfer dude (sans comma), who is an analog dude trying to fit into a digital world, which is like trying to get a square peg into a Calabi-Yau Manifold, which is to say it probably won't work, and neither does this movie.

You can stick around for the only funny line, which involves a breakfast burrito, but the smart surfer would head for the hills and Willie's goat ranch.
