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.

Yes, this is a movie made by stoners for stoners.

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

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.

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.

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

A celebration of unrealistic lifestyles, which makes it exactly the wrong film for our times. [Blu-ray]

It felt like we were watching a rough cut.

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

[A] hapless, laughless movie.

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 It feels 25-30 years out of date and seems to be meant to be watched on VHS, oops, make that DVD, while stoned.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 film looks more like a collection of home movies as opposed to a professional piece of cinema.

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