leo-surfer Why am i saying that? well, even when i'm not a McConaughey fan i saw the title and decided to rent it as i feel attracted to almost anything "Surf", so, as the movie began to roll i really was feeling not to continue as i really expected something more like "Jeff Spicoli"(Fast times at Ridgemont high), yeah stereotypical stoner-surfer-dude you know, funny, and this movie try's too hard to create funny scenes but i really didn't found them, contrary id found it slow, with not too many memorable moments,but you know how it is this id stay waiting for the best but didn't arrive, the part that went really really bad was when they mix the super technology stuff, this is the most anti-surfer stuff, high end simulation is the contrary of all Surf basics, the acting was so terrible in that part that i recognize i had to leave the couch and visit the kitchen, when i went back i really felt anxious to just forward scenes until i maybe could find some fun, but, again, i try to be patient, but end up the same, in conclusion, a strange movie with the wrong title, who watches this movie expecting surfing on it,is wasting time, the movie barely touch the topic, seems like the second topic on it,with very few laughs on it,.. so if you don't really have a good movie at hand (real or classic surfing movies) and want to see something that vaguely relates it give it a try,

tvmovienews I really enjoyed Edtv, so I was interested in seeing McConaughy and Harrelson together again. Unfortunately this was all kinds of bad! This is pretty much a stoner movie, focusing on Steve Addington (McConaughey) who is a world famous surfer who decides to return to his hometown. He is then pursued by a company to sign on to a surfing video game, which he doesn't want any part of. The storyline and acting is horrible in this! I was also interested in seeing Nathan Phillips in this being a fellow Australian.. but he really is an atrocious actor! If you like surfing then this might be for you, but don't expect anything amazing as it was painful to sit through! My Rating: 3.5/10For more Movie and TV News, Reviews and Rumours go to: www.facebook.com/tvmovienews

Vic_max I generally like movies about surfing - documentaries, fiction and even animated flicks. While this movie started out fine, by the end, I really had no idea why the movie was made. Nothing really happens. Nothing. Furthermore, this movie is actually only 75 minutes long (without the credits)! That's pretty short, but it fits since there isn't really any story.I did like the beginning though - there are cool surfing shots, lots of specialized surfer lingo, and a cool introduction to McConaughey's character as a legendary surfer. And that was not all, the beginning also gives us an exotic high-tech firm w/3D virtual technology, a surfer reality show and even a flashy/upscale topless beach party (it was very well done!).However, in terms of where all these elements go, the movie tanks. McConaughey's character walks around confused and dejected because there's no surf ... all while he's continually assaulted by the high tech firm that's pressuring him to sign a contract.As a movie, it's pretty terrible. However, I must say that I still enjoyed a lot of the above elements for their fun-spirited nature. For the general viewer though, there's definitely no point in seeing this movie.

Kingof Somewherehot The abortion of thought that went into this film will shock and astonish you. For Mathew McConaughey, studying a role requires little more than his imagination. Rather than given an insightful view of a surfer's life, the audience is simply subjected to an hour and a half of what McConaughey THINKS is a lifestyle that everyone will fall in love with.Surfer Dude lacks all logic and structure. There is not enough substance here for a full movie, and yet, somehow, they managed to record SOMETHING for 85 minutes. The level of contempt McConaughey has shown for his audience is appalling.The movie starts out giving you the gut feeling that they are faking it, that they are some how cheesing it up to make fun of a horrible stereotype. Very quickly you find out that they are absolutely serious, and like a child finding out Santa isn't real, all hopes for a decent movie are lost.About half way through the film, the faint whispers of a plot start to shine through like sunlight in deep water, then the big dark rain cloud that is McConaughey moves in. Isn't there a definition for what a movie is? Simply recording onto 85 minutes of film does not constitute "movie." We're trying to have a civilization here Mathew! From this point on, I am avoiding all McConaughey movies. I will no longer waste my life on truly horrendous trash like Surfer Dude. On my death bed, I will say, "I wish I never saw surfer dude with Mathew McConaughey." and my kids and grand kids will all say "Who's Mathew McConaughey?"
