Identical twins Stew and Phil Deedle are the surf-bum equivalent of the dimwits
from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. After they get busted for
skipping school on their 18th birthday, their millionaire dad ships them off to
a survival camp in Yellowstone Park. Through a series of comical mishaps they
end up parading around as Park Ranger rookies before running into psycho Dennis
Hooper trying to steal Old Faithful on its billionth birthday.
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. As the Deedles, Steve
Van Woemer and Paul Walker have the requisite good looks, but their acting
abilities are confined to skateboard riding and surfer speak. There's a cool
scene where they shoot the rapids on surfboards, and A.J. Langer shows promise
as a fellow ranger and love interest, but like Old Faithful, Meet the
Deedles predictably blows.
