Paul Walker and Steve Van Wormer play Phil and Stew Deedle, two slackers / surf bums who pass themselves off as aspiring Yellowstone park rangers and work to thwart the plan of villainous former ranger Slater (Dennis Hopper), who's started a prairie dog infestation that he hopes will divert Old Faithful.
This is not an adult's (or critic's, needless to say) picture by *any* means. Beyond being just stupid, this amazingly goofy movie will probably appeal mostly to kids - with way too much supposedly hip lingo and visual gimmickry. Another flaw: the overuse of the words "Deedles" and "p-dogs."
But you know what? I didn't hate it. I've seen worse than this. It has a certain silly charm, even if it's not that intelligent. Likable cast, and good soundtrack, too.
Two great novelties about it: the chance to see Robert "Freddy Krueger" Englund in a rare non-horror role as one of Slater's henchmen, and the (hilarious) chance to see Eric "Victor Newman" Braeden pontificating and reciting silly dialog.
I give this dumb-but-enjoyable movie five out of ten. (I know, I know, I probably shouldn't look at myself in the mirror too closely while saying that.)
