Catastrophe !

Warning: Spoilers
Brutal! Matthew M. is just too cool for words. That must be what he believes if he signed on for this project. It's as if he's okay with the movie not having a beginning, middle, end or anything that resembles a story. He seems to be perfectly okay with just having his face on the screen, acting too cool for words and uttering ultra "spicoli-esc" comments.

I recently viewed, what I thought was the worst movie ever made, "Extreme Movie" and figured nothing would be able to contend with this!!, The I saw "Surfer Dude".

This movie compares to nothing I've seen before. It's hard to put into words how pathetic this thing is. I chose to add "contains spoiler" to this comment, even though there is no way to spoil the plot in this film, because there isn't one! The movie starts to irritate at it's onset. It goes nowhere and offers nothing. I did not laugh once. I found the supporting cast to come across as completely uninterested and just plain bored. This was quite obviously just a vehicle to get McConaughey's face back "out there". I was disappointed to see that Scot Glen had participated in this, he's done some good things in the past.

With Matthew wearing the same pair of "cat in the hat" surfer shorts for the entire length of the movie, which goes on for months, I now have no doubt that, the rumors about fellow actors complaining about working with him because of his poor hygiene and foul body odor, are nothing but absolute Fact!

The only conclusion I can come up with for this movie being produced is perhaps it's the economy. I guess we should expect to see more "cheap" films coming our way with actors feeling forced to participate in them just so they can keep their faces in ours!
