Surfer, Dude is the story of Steve Addington, a soul-searching surfer who experiences an existential crisis when no waves come for over a month.
Based on eighteen reviews, Surfer, Dude currently holds a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.Metacritic has a score of 16 out of 100 for the title. Michael Ordona of the Los Angeles Times stated that "The film is awash in doobies and breasts, clichéd cinematic language and clumsy exposition. It's reminiscent of the stoner-culture movies of the late '60s and early '70s but without the naive fun."
