Dumb is one thing, but this sorry attempt at action-comedy from stuntman turned director Steve Boyum is in an intelligence-deprived class all its own.

Errant, brain-dead millionaire twins Stew and Phil Deedle are sent by their father from the paradise of the North Shore to the woebegone wilderness of Camp Broken Spirit, where their tender, malleable selves will be transformed from "surf bums" into corporate-friendly high achievers. Heinous! They bail, but a case of mistaken identity soon finds our heroes saving Old Faithful from a disgruntled Ranger's plan to re-route the geyser's flow onto his own property, using an army of trained prairie dogs. Wicked! Harmless, teen-oriented fun. [More]

Reviews for Meet the Deedles
As I have said in the past, I have barely been able to contain my excitement in the recent avalanche of quality Disney fare. Not.
Will adults enjoy this film? Some might be amused by the crazy situations and verbal and visual outrageousness--though they probably won't admit it.
The film is peppered with political jokes, bikini-clad babes, and fart gags, as if it couldn't decide what audience it's aiming at.
One of the worst movies that has ever been conceived. I loathed and despised absolutely every pathetic second of it.
This is the type of movie so desperate for fun it tries to bully you into it.
There's an awful lot of dead time in this picture, and while it's a bit too sweet and innocent to utterly despise, there's nothing there to really like.
OK, this recycling thing has gotten way out of hand. Paper and aluminum products are one thing, but rehashing old movie ideas isn't going to help the environment in any way.
You'll have much better luck finding a good spot to surf in Wyoming than finding entertainment in Meet the Deedles.
