A film about nothing
By gyl (17 reviews) from Glasgow , 10 Mar 2009[Highly rated reviewer]
Matthew McConaughey plays legendary surfer Addington, who is being manipulated by his friends and bullied by his sponsers into starring in a reality tv show about surfers in a big brother style house with loads of playboy grade models kicking about. But he just wants to surf man, he's not feeling it. That's about it plotwise.
McConaughey spends 99% of the movie shirtless, waiting for some decent (surf)break, there's plenty of bikini babes and everything goes along at an easy going pace.
Stoners and McConaughey fans might like this but anyone wanting to engage their brain won't. I hate giving films 3 stars but even tho nothing really happens, the characters aren't believable and the acting's not great, i didn't consider turning it off either. I guess that's the point - the movie moves along at the same pace as the surfer's lives.
It does make you long for a life so easy - travelling the world, hanging out with your friends, doing what you love; in Addington's case that's having sex with beautiful women, smoking pot and surfing. And displaying his 8 pack ALL the time. Think there's a bit of self parody in there from McConaughey's bongo playing days too.
Be warned tho - the beautiful bodies on show may spark the urge to do sit ups.- Was this review helpful to you?

Pointless rubbish
By mellie86 (3 reviews) , 10 Dec 2011Very pointless and boring , Turned it off after half hour , why i gave it this long i don't know ,
Maybe i thought it was a slow starting film and would get better.

So what is the point to this film again?
By bigrich690 (9 reviews) from leeds , 24 Jun 2011I hate to do this but dont waste your time watching this film, i was not entertained and there was no point to this film, just Matthew McConaughey getting his body out and giving the girls something to look at, infact if i were to recomend this film to anyone, then it would have to be a girl!

Relaxed and mellow
By a customer from Devon , 24 May 2010This is an easy going, chilled experience for a lazy evening in. There's no two ways about it - Surfing is a cool and magical experience. This movie is about just that.
If you enjoy taking your time to enjoy what life has to offer (ideally at the beach) then you'll enjoy watching this. If you live for the next craze, have ADHD or an otherwise short attention span, don't bother. You won't like the lack of explosions, car chases and other excitment.
The only downer is the slightly too happy ending. Everything just comes together a little too easily.- Was this review helpful to you?
