Perhaps the reason why so many have reviewed this title in the negative is because they were expecting "Dazed and Confused" on water.
IT'S NOT!!!!
The movie starts off introducing the super laid back, somewhat irresponsible Steve Addington, or Add as he is referred to in the movie played by Matthew McConaughey.
He has been to able to afford to be a carefree hippie surfer because of his sponsor. When his sponsor is bought out by former surfer, now super douche business exec, Add's life takes a dramatic financial turn.
Addington's attitude is unwavering though. Because he is a "Surfer dude! I surf." He knows that he will get by even without the money. That is until the waves dry up. California and the entire pacific coast goes flat.
Add suffers what can only be described as massive withdraws coupled with delusional psychosis.
The morale of this story is 2 fold. 1. Find what you love and do that. 2. "Be careful of what you love brother, cause it can drive you mad!"
I would recommend this movie to dudes dating someone who loves Matthew McConaughey. Dudes who like to surf. Dudes who hate corporate America. and yes, dudes who smoke the reefer.
AND its not all about the chiseled body of McConaughey, there are plenty of beach bunnies to check out during this movie.
