DVD Reviews of The Tao of Steve
DVD Review: Agree with the trashers but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this movie years ago, and somehow it sticks with me. I do agree with the critical reviewers; the "hero" as such, has little to redeem him or the movie. That said, I like it. The lead is charming and I want to see him redeemed. I know quite a few "float along" kind of guys and girls... long past college, with no driving force. This guy is representative in his way. If you do not have expectations that are too high, the film is small, quirky and a bit charming. Enjoy.DVD Review: Just a great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife & I limit ourselves to watching this once a year, just like Galaxy Quest. Two fundamentally perfect movies. DVD Review: Must see for any guy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is unheard of which is a shame. Everyone knows the guy that refuses to grow up...in this case it is Steve. This movie to appreciate requires two viewings, after which time you will fall in love with the movie and tell everyone you know about this unheard gem. This would make a good double feature with the Big Lobowski, which has a similar philosophical outlook on life. As a guy movie I get it 5 stars however if you intend to make this a date night movie be prepared to end up watching alone. DVD Review: romantic and quirky
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is what I consider "one of my friends", one I watch or have playing in the background often. It is quirky and romantic. It is just the type of movie graduates of St. John's College would make, you'll have to look into that college to see what I mean. One of its two campuses is in Santa Fe, NM. The landscape of Santa Fe is a character in the movie, it is beautiful. Much of the movie has the characters outdoors and you feel like you are there.DVD Review: Funny!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is about 'Steves', a 30-something overweight ladie's man who can talk any woman into having relations with him by using "The Dao of Steve." Unfortunately, the Dao isn't working for the only woman that steve really wants.
The Dao of Steve is a fun movie with characters that one can relate to.
Description of The Tao of Steve
Dex, an overweight ladies man, shares the secret of his success with his friends, but when Syd, a former college flame returns to Santa Fe, Dex finds himself as clueless as his friends.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R
Release Date: 20-MAR-2001
Media Type: DVD
In his college days Dex (Donal Logue) was a slim, cool, smooth-talking ladies' man. A decade later he's an overweight, underachieving kindergarten teacher, but he's honed his pick-up technique into a way of life--a mix of zen, tough-guy cool, and college philosophy he and his buddies call "the Tao of Steve," named after the manly triad of Steve Austin (a.k.a. the Six Million Dollar Man), Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord's unflappable cop on Hawaii Five-0), and the king of all Steves: Steve McQueen. Santa Fe is populated with his one-night stands, but then he runs into Syd (Greer Goodman), a smart, sexy old classmate with an arsenal of sharp retorts, at a college reunion.
This American indie take on the slacker lothario falls into the old familiar story: eternally adolescent man meets grown-up woman and is forced to face up to a life in which he has never taken an emotional risk or a life-changing plunge. Logue's easy charm and low-key confidence makes Dex an easy guy to like, and director Jenniphr Goodman (who cowrote the script with Greer, her sister and star of the film) invests his lifestyle of leisure (mostly guys chatting about girls and trading pop culture references) with an offhanded naturalness. But neither is she oblivious to the holding pattern his life has taken. Sure, there's an inevitability to this shaggy romance, but there's an undeniable pleasure in seeing the change in the landscape of a familiar road. --Sean Axmaker
