How many scenes of an old lady learning to surf do we need to watch? I suppose that most movie people's worlds revolve around N.Y. and L.A. They write about what they know, so I guess I can't blame them for that, but jeez, how is someone in Wisconsin going to relate to this clichéd garbage? Who cares what an 18 year old has to say about anything in literature other than the kid himself? A main part of the story is this silly kid agonizing about some stupid short story he's writing. What's the rush kid? Even his stupid mom was explaining to him that you have to live first.
Helen Hunt must have thought that the old "Mad About You" Paul Reiser New York Jewish argumentation thing can be transferred to any setting, Even when it's being done by an old skin and bones waspy lady on a surfboard.
This thing is just neurotic argument after neurotic argument. What disgusting people. Why would a slim 37 year old surf teacher want to get it on with some old bag of bones who never shuts up? Helen Hunt was attractive for about 10 seconds when she was 18 herself. She shouldn't place herself in romantic films anymore.
What's the deep message here? Follow your heart, or give new experiences a chance? Gee that's original. If there are no likable characters, no depth, no humor, and routine photography, what is there to like about such a film? Answer: nothing.
