Very interesting & slightly disturbing documentary…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Walter M (1,360) on 11 May 2009

[font=Century Gothic]Surfwise is an engaging, if not substantive, documentary about Dorian ' Doc' Paskowitz who graduated from Stanford University…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Corey C (511) on 03 May 2009

Entertaining and good-natured documentary. Truth is stranger than fiction, and all that. Well-made, smartly-edited…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

New Bohemian lifestyle: good, bad, or neutral…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Steve K (552) on 29 Mar 2009

At once engaging and infuriating, this documentary shows both the good side to the Paskowitz family upbringing, and the bad…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Robert Roten (1,865) for Laramie Movie Scope (1,865) on 11 Feb 2009

This documentary about a famous family of nomadic surfers is fascinating not only because of the certifiable oddball patriarch, but also because…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By D.j. B (96) on 01 Feb 2009

More than just a documentary about a bizarre family of surfers, it's an interesting study of the family dynamic, how and where you are raised…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Barbra K (5) on 27 Jan 2009

Gaddamned hippies... I liked it very much…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Barton K (36) on 25 Jan 2009

Fascinating stuff but too many questions remain unanswered, like namely what exactly was the fallout of their lifestyle for their children…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Chris M (3,023) on 18 Jan 2009

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Lilja A (5) on 04 Jan 2009

So funny. I hope I have kids just so I can use some of the Paskowitz methods on them…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Daniel C (1,809) on 27 Dec 2008

Enjoyable enough, but it doesn't really know what it wants to say. Was Paskowitz a menace? A genius? The filmmaker doesn't know either…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Deena R (26) on 27 Dec 2008

Intense documentary of a less than ordinary family…

Review of Surfwise (2007)
