'Surfer, Dude' Confirms Matthew McConaughey's Schtick Not So Cute When You're Required To Pay For It
Posted by Seth at 10:20 AM on July 22, 2008
Just two weeks after Matthew McConaughey had his first child, he's already lost the pregnancy weight. If that's not reason enough to hate him, there's also this trailer for Surfer, Dude (if you're confused by that comma, just wait until you watch the the video!), a stoner comedy for people turned off by Pineapple Express's high production values and ability to elicit laughter. What's going on here? Well, several famous weed-enthusiasts (Woody Harrelson, Willie Nelson) have contributed their talents to a project seemingly conceived not to send up McConaughey's reputation, but rather to enable it: The entire thing seems like it was shot in short bursts between surfing runs and rent-a-car hotboxing opportunities, by the very same P.A.s who sauntered up to McConaughey in Malibu with tar-stained outline in hand, pledging, "We'd throw paparazzi down for you, brah."

In the end, presumably, they put together a Bikini Car Wash to pay for Willie Nelson's heart surgery?

Looks like they grafted clips and ideas from McConaughey's increasingly stupefying oeuvre and decided to make a movie around it.

This looks retarded.
No witty comment. It doesn't deserve that.

I'm not a fan of the McConnaghy/Harrelson oevres, but I might actually pay to see that. It has the feel of those low budget films that screened at drive-ins in the '70s, then disappeared forever.

Give this project some credit for setting up Seth's zinger:
"We'd throw paparazzi down for you, brah."

I take back the criticism I said regarding Hollywood remakes, if this is what's considered original new material.

All that was missing was the disclaimer that "No paparizzi were harmed in the making of this film."

I can find solace in knowing that at least a few seagulls had to have shat on Matt during the shooting.

Matthew McConaughey is to Surfer Brody -
as Pepperoni Sausage Pizza is to Glatt Kosher.
