a jennifer denuccio use to say on square peg and gag me out the door . i would definitely vote this movie on imdb bad movie list . dennis christopher play t. t. and a guy from chicago who go to california peddle his brother jazz record . he be suppose to be a barney place in the local only surf community . but he act more like he be new to civilization ( just try to get through his sex scene without squirm ) . there be also the on go adventure of the rest of the local population that the viewer must endure . that of duke ( seymour cassell ) and the volleyball expert who try to get t. t. to act like a normal human be and the obnoxious drunk surfer who cheat on their girlfriend and and the guy who make a bet with another that he can live in car for sixth month . california dreaming be just a big old mess . it start out like a typical seventy romp and complete with bad 70 music ( even though this movie come out one year shy of the 80 ) . and dennis christopher come off a the most irritable loser and it make the movie hard to watch ( keep your finger on the fast forward button ) . even if this movie be suppose to be about the surfer culture and the surf scene be almost total garbage . the people at the surf contest look a though they can not keep from fall asleep . i guess the only cool thing be see tanya robert outside of her role a midge on the sitcom that 70 show . and cassell wasn not bad and he be just in a bad movie .
