Meet the Deedles (1998)

You won't be disappointed!

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Fresh and Exciting

"Meet the Deedles" is the ultimate groovy 90's filmography dude! Well, not really. It's one of those movies that wants to be like "Wayne's World" and "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" so bad that it becomes like a fossil in cinematic history. The film might have had an audience once, but those were all 11 to 17 year old boys growing up in the 1990's and have since grown up. Just look at the cover of that VHS tape, and you'll immediately know that this is going to be irritating and not the list bit funny. It's as ridiculous and stupid as you can expect from a title like "Meet the Deedles".It's about two surf-loving free spirits that reject authority, Phil Deedle (Paul Walker) and his brother Stew Deedle (Steve Van Wormer). After being kicked out of school for what they perceive as being "Too Cool", they are sent to a boot camp to be straightened out. Instead, their vehicle takes a wrong turn and they end up In Yellowstone National Park! From there you can see where everything is going to go. They meet the authority figure of the park, they run around him while he screams impotently. If this movie follows formula, they're going to screw up something big, like destroy Old Faithful, but prove to everyone that with surfing and the power of being an awesome slacker with no real responsibilities, you can make everything go right in the end. Tell me when my prediction turns out to be off.Looking back at this movie fills me with shame. I was the target audience for this film when it came out. I was 11 years old in 1998 and you bet if I had seen the film at that time, I would have thought it would have been hilarious! Thankfully, I've grown up. Nowadays I empathize more with the people who want to destroy these fools than the surfers themselves. It's almost funny in an ironic way, like watching a map of the earth as the center of the universe, and a flat earth at that! The difference is that this movie lasts 93 minutes and looking back and laughing at our ancestors, that takes just a few moments. Without any brains, Interesting twists on the formula and a fair bit of annoying moments, "Meet the Deedles" is best left forgotten. (On VHS January 31, 2012)

Don't waste time seeing this movie! It's not funny, the actors are bad, and there is absolutely no moral in the story! It's a waste of money and time. I'm really disappointed to see Dennis Hopper starring in this movie. I hope he donated the salary to poor people, because otherwise he shouldn't have a reason to be there! I don't understand why they made such a brainless movie! The circus animals were the best actors there! And what a bad commercial for Yellowstone national park. They should sue the producers of this movie. Who said yes to this project in the first place? They must have known this movie didn't sell... Do yourself a favour. Buy all copies of this movie and recycle it. It doesn't belong anywhere.

This is hands down one of the worst films ever. I'm not going to waste my time commenting on such a travesty, so I'll sum it up in two words: this sucks.Disney deserved this one to bomb, it blows me away that they managed to spend so much money making it. Completely incompetent, humorless filmmaking, actually surprising considering the source. And I didn't think Dennis Hopper could do worse than Space Truckers... well I was sure wrong.

Just like "The Big Green" and "Honey, I Shrunk Ourselves,""Meet the Deedles" can be checked under the list of Disney's lousiest live action flicks! I mean, come on, who really wants to see two bonehead surfers who land in Yellowstone Parkjust to catch some waves? Huh??! How can anyone be that dumb? The chemistry between the two leads (Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer) kind of reminded me of the relationship between Bill and Ted from those old "Bill and Ted" flicks; all crude andno IQ! Dennis Hopper is terribly wasted in this flick, which he plays a deranged ex-ranger park ranger.
