So I was flipping through the channels this evening, and happened to stop and find this movie, on the WE network of all places! Now, if not for the presence of Sean Astin, Matthew Lillard and Shannon Elizabeth, I would have sworn this was a rerun of some movie of the week from 1984. Brian Dennehy? OK. RICHARD MOLL??? I was convinced someone had constructed a time machine to transport the lead actors back to the 80s. I then tried to determine whether or not this movie was SET in the 1980s...and after viewing the bridesmaid attire in the wedding scene I had thought I had solved the mystery!But alas, no. Now, I realize this was a lower budget movie, but I just can't get over the fact that the lighting, sound and film quality exactly resemble that sort of early 80s TV movie I was talking about. Did the editors age the film??? Someone help me out here! I know this post sounds sarcastic, but I'm honestly stumped! Did the WE channel just get a hold of a bad copy or what???

I'll give the other comment-giver a little bit of credit... but I found this movie to be insanely cute and very cool. I found it out only because I was a huge fan of Sean Astin in LOTR, but as I watched it and pulled more away from just loving to see Sean, I found it really groovy stuff!! Writers and directors use the same story lines and plots all the time! This thing was totally different and maybe not as realistic as we'd like it to be, but it IS still realistic. Hell, I'd be a dish dog if I had Matt Lillard and Sean Astin by my side... AND a hot stripper. It may not have been as good as I had hoped... but I do give it something for the originality and getting me to REALLY eat at a chip, lol.

I chose this movie by the cover which was a bad move. It wasn't funny at all and the main characters were obnoxious. The girl was beautiful but the story and the acting were terrible. It had absolutely nothing to do with surfing. It had a few scenes with no waves- oh it did have the 2 main characters who obviously can't surf try to take off on a closeout. Then it showed Brian Dennehy who I liked in Cocoon but I lost all respect for him in this movie. It was obvious no one in the movie surfs, which is a good thing because they act like losers anyway. I'm amazed they wasted time and money producing this film. I'm even more amazed people bought it.

Overall I have to give this movie a good rating. I started watching while flipping channels and Shannon Elizabeth caught my eye. The movie itself is about Morgan (Sean Astin) trying to define himself as a philosopher. To do this Morgan and his best friend Jason (Matthew Lillard) travel the country washing dishes and exchanging philosophical ideas. Jason eventually falls in love with a girl who he then wants to stay with and stop travelling around. Morgan finds this to go against his beliefs and tries to leave but also ends up falling in love with different girl played by Shannon Elizabeth. The rest of the movie is basically Morgan trying to convince himself that this girl will not corrupt his beliefs. Not for people who don't want to think about a movie but also a good movie for a couple to watch. Enjoy
