Not even apologetic (well, maybe a little) with this one, I just about enjoyed 'Meet the Deedles'. My love of Paul Walker from the 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise is possibly clouding my judgement slightly, but I honestly like Walker and co-star Steve Van Wormer in this. They play their ridiculous roles well, their characters are - simply - cringey surf 'dudes' - they come across as intended, while Walker and Van Wormer work together nicely under those conditions. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this is anything close to a great film. However, it's a pure turn off your brain and watch type of production. It didn't even make me laugh all that much, but the stuff with PW and SVW is enjoyable for some reason. I name those two only, as the other characters and subplot is indeed absolutely terrible. I like Dennis Hopper, as most do I'm sure, but his character and story is terrible. It's just as nonsensical as the above, but way less enjoyable. That almost knocked my feelings to give it a bad rating, but thankfully they focus more on Walker/Van Wormer's side of the story; every time Hopper's part appears, it's more of an annoyance than anything else. I didn't expect to like this, especially with the cover and how dodgy Disney's barrage of comedies have been so far in the late 1990s. While this isn't anything amazing, it just narrowly gets a 7 rating from me. I do understand why most dislike it.
