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

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

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

Top Critic 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.

Top Critic 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 It feels 25-30 years out of date and seems to be meant to be watched on VHS, oops, make that DVD, while stoned.

There's something about the mystical-spiritual aura surrounding surfing that tends to turn most movies on the subject to hippie-dippie mush.

...limp and rambling picture, which crawls across the screen for about 30 minutes longer than it has any need to.
