There are simple meanings about capitalism and retrieval to nature and stuff like that. Well i say you can find meaning in rock standing still, if you want to. Many say there is no meaning in this movie. If you want meaning, you can find it anywhere. "What is good about surf? What is good about the wind." The lines are poor, and the actors are just there, except of course Woody who is always a pleasure watch. Theories and ideas and intentions of the characters are just what it is. The plot is not multi-layered or anything and the ideas are not explained in detail or in depth. Surfer, dude is like the guy in school that you know you'll never have something in common but respect his different way of seeing things. What is bad about the movie? Well it is not a serious, provocative film for cinema lovers. I never seen a more stereo typical view of a pot head but with a hint of control in the weed consumption. The lead is in most natural, meaning always stoned. The long beaches, the sand, the sun, Willie Reed are natural elements that relax us. Yes the shots of the sea and the waves will always have a calming effect on us, it is scientifically explained. Another good think is the view from the almighty ocean. This is its central message: good things are for free. You don't have to spend a penny to see this movie. It will come to you some day, in the TV, when you are back from work, tired and in need of something laid back. Like the waves though, it is good not to force this movie. What is good about this film? Well if you are one of those people that got sick with overblown action movies or vampire teenage dramas, "Surfer, dude" is going to provide you a break.

I found much of the critique of this movie completely misplaced. So while it is not that original, though there are hints, it is very very entertaining. He played his character and I was surprised at how well he did it. You saw it when he was challenged to a fight, and refused, or when he was insulted, or his words twisted. What surprised me in the movie is how well Matthew played the character. That is a no-brainer." Actually not really, since a laid back person does not get uptight about anything, nothing gets them going. While people may say, "oh look he is playing a stoner and laid back person. Though I have to say that Matthew McConaughey did a really good job. And finally my third priority is, does this movie challenge my mind? For this movie, no not even close. My first and foremost priority is does the movie entertain me? For this movie, check! Then my second priority is this movie original? For this movie half a check. I watch quite a few movie and from my review record I can pretty much watch any movie. And in its slow way it gives me a long smile instead of periodic laughter. And overall, it could be a little bit better, like everything else. I accept the statement that the flow of the story is very slow, too. Yes the plot is simple, but has important questions. Actually I recommend Surfer, Dude for those, who feel frustrated after work or feel like there is more to life than doing overtime for surplus production. This thing is double stated with the soul/Seoul people scene after the cast, at the very end of the movie. He does only the positive things, and none of the negative ones, not even for money. He is the relaxed one we are the frustrated ones.
Addington is like a creature from another world, but at the end of the film it feels like he is the one from planet Earth (with the goat shepherd and the fisherman) and on the other hand we who made the fields chessboard looking, made the trees stand in order and in the exact same distance from each other in the forest, we are the aliens, or robots.
The video game and reality show versus the real surfing and life under the sun. Not working for the profit (which actually goes to other one's pocket), he is living for living, enjoying life, experiencing the mystery or magic of nature. Not a 9 to 5 office worker like the most of us, not someone having only twenty-some days off a year.

He is the free man, part of and living with nature. The main character (Addington) represents everything that people living in the cage of the consumer / mass society can only dream about, or should be dreaming about. Because it helped me rethink what is important in life and what isn't. A movie which got huge slaps in the face by critics pointing that this isn't more than something stoners would make for other stoners and myself who never touched weed or any drugs. Here is this movie and here I am, someone who liked it.
