Of all the movies I've seen, even the terrible ones, I haven't encountered many that cared as little about themselves as this movie does. It seems uninterested in the characters, the plot, and even the premise of the story. Despite being titled "Surf School", the process of learning to surf gets very little screen time. More time is spent chasing after the women of the film, who seen to serve no purpose except to model swimsuits. Then again, the men are only there to chase the women.
Someone in production must have found the line "Mahi-mahi" hysterical, as Rip repeats it several times throughout, never achieving more than a vague sensation of nausea. Again, someone must have found the emcee for the competition tolerable and perhaps even amusing as he gave lines that must have been ad-libbed about the attractiveness of teenage boys. The list of bad decisions goes on and on.
I suppose it's moderately entertaining to watch this for the purpose of mocking it, but then there are so many other movies that serve that function so much better.
