Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
It felt like we were watching a rough cut.
Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies
Rotten
[A] hapless, laughless movie.
Dennis Harvey, Variety
Rotten
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.
Neely Tucker, Washington Post
Rotten
Surfer, Dude is a bizarre throwback. It feels 25-30 years out of date and seems to be meant to be watched on VHS, oops, make that DVD, while stoned.
