Meet the Deedles (1998)

Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Better Late Then Never

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

I am heartened to see that, for a change, most others agree with me on the dopiness of this flick. Therefore I shall simply add that this has nothing to do with Yellowstone National Park. The "filmmakers" knew nothing about it but that Old Faithful is there and knew nothing about national parks but that rangers wear uniforms. I watched this to see how goofily unrealistic the geysers and hotsprings would look. Surprise, there aren't any, besides a spout of water in the background (Old Faithful) and a love scene in a hot-tub (the hidden hotspring). Disney couldn't even be bothered to make some plastic scenery! Yes, along with each other Hollywood film, they simply set everything in the studio's grassy fields with California's generic mountains in the background. The park's geology and animal-life are joyfully manipulated by the HEROES as the SOLUTIONS to the villain's evil actions. To the filmmakers, the only difference between commercial tourist attractions and national parks is that national park employees wear ranger uniforms. And these are the same people getting worked up over global warming? For sure. But any film with A J Langer is worth at least 3 stars.

Don't waste time seeing this movie! It's not funny, the actors are bad, and there is absolutely no moral in the story! It's a waste of money and time. I'm really disappointed to see Dennis Hopper starring in this movie. I hope he donated the salary to poor people, because otherwise he shouldn't have a reason to be there! I don't understand why they made such a brainless movie! The circus animals were the best actors there! And what a bad commercial for Yellowstone national park. They should sue the producers of this movie. Who said yes to this project in the first place? They must have known this movie didn't sell... Do yourself a favour. Buy all copies of this movie and recycle it. It doesn't belong anywhere.

Meet The Deedles is a great, fun, Disney movie which stars the brilliant Paul Walker, who plays Phil Deedle. One of two surfer brothers. The other played by Steve Van Wormer who plays Stew Deedle. If you want to see a silly, funny movie than Meet The Deedles is for you , or if you're just a fan of Paul Walker, (Like me.) then you're definitely bound to enjoy this cool and good movie.

Ok, well I'm sorta biased b/c I am a HUGE Paul Walker fan. So, the movie didn't have the best plot...so, it was kinda lame at times...that's true. But I mean, Paul Walker's amazing, PERIOD, whether he's in a stupid movie or not. So, if you like him AT ALL, don't hesitate to see it. Besides, I'm sure you'll find yourself laughin at times, even if you don't wanna admit it.
