There is a point in an actors career where they start off with something stupid and funny. Something that people wouldn't criticize heavily. A fine example would be ALL of Seth Rogens work. This man will always be stupid, and funny to some people. Asking a critique to sit down and see his work is like asking Simon listen to me sing. I suck at it and always will.
Back to Matty. I haven't the slightest idea what he was thinking when he decided to be part of 'Surfer Dude'. If you haven't seen it. You don't really have to. Its nothing great. Its a mistake that had been done and should never be repeated. You want to know why its the worst decision he ever made or will ever make in his acting career. This is why.
To sum up the movie. Its about a dude who says 'dude' every 7 seconds, who's a surfer, who is always high. I have no problem with the character and the plot. I have a major problem with someone who decides to be in such movies who's been acting for over 15 years. I wouldn't have had a problem if say, Sean William Scott was in this movie instead. Would've been a lot funnier thats for sure. But for someone who is trying to build a respectable acting career Matthew has screwed up big time.
I found something interesting a few days ago which even made me despise 'Surfer, Dude' even more. In 1982, a 22 year old actor decided to start off his career with a movie the dumbass (see above) decided to act in at the age of 39! If you don't know who I'm talking about please see below.
Do you see the resemblance?
Sean Penn's second movie he had ever done had him as a stoned, surfer, dude. The man was 22. Today he is something Mr. McConaughey will never be.
If you're really bored and want to see someone famous make an ass out of them selves watch 'Surfer, Dude'.
In case you want to see Penn's movie, its called Fast Times At Ridgemont High. Not a bad movie for someone who just started acting.
