  • Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson
  • Summary: Longboarding soul-surfer Steve Addington returns to Malibu for the summer to find his cool hometown vibe corrupted. New sponsorship demands Addington to expand into Virtual Reality Video Games and Reality TV. Unwilling to participate in this new digital-reality, he chooses to spend his summer surfing his home break. But in a twist-of-fate, the waves go flat and stay flat. Out of money, his expense-accounts canceled, and betrayed by his buddies, Addington is backed into a harsh corner. He must endure the insanity that comes with no waves or give into "the Man" and his new, reality-altering machines. Aided by his manager, his mentor, his guardian-angel and his summer lover, Addington has a chance of keeping his cool, but it's not going to be easy. The dude needs a wave, and there's never been a drought like this. (Anchor Bay Entertainment)… Expand

    Someone else's vacation photos are never much fun to watch, and this beach party is a drag for onlookers.

    You can stick around for the only funny line, which involves a breakfast burrito, but the smart surfer would head for the hills and Willie's goat ranch.

    From "Hands on a Hard Body" to an 89-minute ogling of another hard body: It boggles the mind that 11 years after his engrossing documentary about an endurance competition to win a truck in Longview, Texas, filmmaker Bindler has channeled his talents into this regrettable comedy.

    Much rather see McConaughey in this then anything else he has done other than dazed and confused of course.

    An 85 minute excuse for narcissistic McConaughey to not wear a shirt. Dreadful film that looks as if it were all thrown together in a rush at the last minute. Degrading to women.… Expand
