You’ve

now it’s
time to

Meet the
what? More like, “Meet the
back of my head as I run
screaming from the theater.”
If you feel as if you haven’t
been saying “I don’t think so”
enough or need some prac
tice making that clicking
noise of disgust with your
tongue and the back of your
teeth, then Meet the Deedles is
the movie to see.
The movie follows the
wacky misadventures of Phil
and Stew Deedle, two bum
bling but lovable surfer-dudes
who turn their fish-out-of-wa-
ter situation into a come-from-
behind, feel-good victory.
Apparently no one told
Walt Disney’s frozen head that
the whole Bill and Ted craze
ended years ago, and needs
not be repeated.
When Phil and Stew get ex
pelled from high school, their
father decides to send the
boys to survival camp.
Through a series of — you
guessed it — wacky misadven
tures, the Deedle brothers find
themselves mistaken for two

Walker) find themselves repelling off cliffs as they train to be rangers

emits who must rid the park of
prairie dogs for Old Faithful’s
one-billionth birthday bash.
You know those movies that
catch you breathing a relieved
sigh when the heroes narrowly
escape death? This is not one of
those movies. You will find
yourself chanting, “Die already.”
It was sad to see a Disney
movie working blue. In one
scene, Stew extols the virtue
of a squirrel-skin jock strap,
since squirrels are naturals at
“hiding nuts.”
The only entertaining per
formance is given by Ana
Gasteyer of “Saturday Night
Live,” who plays nature-loving
ranger recruit Mel. Unfortu
nately, she only is on screen
for a total of three minutes.
The previews say it all.
“These guys didn’t invent cool.
They’re just taking it to the ex
treme.” Extreme levels of gut-
wrenching stupidity. And in a
bad way. Ernest Goes to Camp
was stupid, but a fun-filled
romp nonetheless. I think
Meet the Deedles was actually
designed to make you dumber.
Even more bizarre than the
premise of this greasy, nut-filled
fruitcake of a movie is the partic
ipation of Dennis Hopper as dis-
gruntled ex-park ranger Frank
Slater. Does Hopper need mon
ey that badly? Did he learn noth
ing from Super Mario Bros. ?
Hopper will be laughing all
the way to the bank, but you
will be crying all the way back
to your car. Stay home. Take up
macrame. Do anything. Any
thing but Meet the Deedles.
