Popdose: DVD Review: “Surfer, Dude”

  • Zack · 11 months ago
    "Hands on a Hard Body" sounds like it could be a mid-eighties sex comedy, a hard-core porn film, or a documentary about coroners. Which was it?

    Actually, what I'm really asking here is: should I rent it?

    Do you have a sick, kinky thing for cars? If not, then "Hands On A Hard Body" is for you.

    You should OWN "Hands on a Hard Body," then you should host an annual viewing party where guests dress up as the various contestants. It's genius, seriously. I love it, I own it on VHS, and remain infuriated at myself that I never upgraded to DVD. If you can find a copy to rent, definitely do so.

    It is supposed to be good. It sounds like "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" updated to the era of wacky endurance contests that were promoted by so many radio stations in the '90s. I just wonder what S.R. Bindler was doing between '97 and '08. Maybe McConaughey, his old high school friend, gave him a much-needed break by asking him to direct "Surfer, Dude."

    No one should listen to this bullshit review. This movie is art and passion brought to life, entranced with the humor and love shared between good friends. It has soul, heart, and purpose.

    I pity whoever wrote this article, in that they have not yet begun to experience life. I suggest you go stick your toes in the sand, feel the wind, and start to live.

    Surfer, Dude was one of the best movies i've ever seen. I recommend it to everyone.

    My little sister once said something similar to me about the Olsen sisters' movies.

    I'm just saying.

    To each his own, Bryant. Thanks for reading. I liked McConaughey much more in "Tropic Thunder," though that movie's overrated.

    Surfer, Dude or Surfer, Dud? A very sobering stoner comedy. Check out the full review:

    Thanks for sending that and showing the perspective of an actual surfing enthusiast.
