Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Heather H (478) on 13 May 2009

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)

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…

By Mary K (211) on 09 Feb 2009

A real life version of Mosquito Coast…

I too was fasinated by this & think that some of my friends would enjoy it…

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

Loved it. Strange but not too strange documentary. You might like it if you're interested in surfing, family or Judaism…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Rob F (285) on 15 Jan 2009

An interesting and thought provoking look at the life of the Paskowitz family…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Justin R (1,063) on 13 Jan 2009

Interesting, but padded and kinda uneventful portrait of a boho surfer family…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Daryoush N (1) on 09 Jan 2009

I really can't deal with hippies, even when they melt down on camera…

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)

By Paul B (2,474) on 18 Dec 2008

Interesting look at nomadic life - looks good from a distance but close up it probably stinks…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Bevan S (52) on 15 Dec 2008

This is a step-by-step primer on the plusses and minuses of unschooling. Doc is off on his own tangent, but aren't we all…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Don P (66) on 14 Dec 2008

Excellent documentary. True, any children's services worker would be appalled. I was…

Review of Surfwise (2007)

By Courtney B (263) on 10 Dec 2008
