Summary: We all surf forever
Review: Our lives like ripples of waves on the ocean thats what Big Wednesday is all about always leading us back into the fray of a big wave, Never knowing what to expect, Maybe the perfect ride or The worst ride of our lives, Life or death always on the brink, on the wave, or on the streetEveryday we surf on that wave or on that highway as spirits of our own desires. A very very good movie

Summary: A CLASSIC
Review: The Muhammad Ali of surf films, this is the film which took surfing into the mainstream. Deeply moving and at times painfully nostalgic, this film chronicles the pleasure and pain of growing up. Consisting of four interconnected vignettes set at various times during the 1960s and 70s this film uses the surfing theme as a backdrop weaving between the bobbysox era, the Vietnam War (long before it became fashionable) and climaxing in the Big Wednesday which gives the film its title. The surfing footage is nothing short of spectacular, a triumph of film making. It is impossible to be unchanged after watching Big Wednesday, a film which has reached legendary status and which represented Jan Michael Vincent and Gary Busey's finest on-screen performances. The Bear logo used in the film was spun off into a successful surfing partnership making surfboards and other products and which sponsored the Big Wednesday 20th anniversary celebrations in 1998 (see http://bearsurf.com/accessories.htm). If you only ever see one surfing film it has to be this one. It is the surfing genre's finest hour.

Summary: big nooo huge
Review: The story behind Big Wednesday is one of Life and sorrow. The lives of a handfull of young surfers in California and the effect that the changes of time have on them. From the War in Veitnam and struggles of growing up in that ere! The comedy and facts of this film blend together to make one of the most intense storys of the 60s. Big Wednesday is not big it is Huge.

Summary: experimental cult classic
Review: The twenty reviews I read (with the exception of the negative responses) sums up the impact of this film and it's following therefore this is a message for the director and company that owns the rights and may put it out on DVD. Restore the cut footage and give it the theatrical treatment it deserves with any extras you can give.
Both as surfer and independent film buff this film broke alot of rules and still made a longtime impact. So do it right!

Summary: Early acting at its best...
Review: This film is phenomenal in that it brings not only William Katt, Gary Busey and Jan Michael Vincent together but also introduces many new faces to 80's film and television such as Robert England (aka Freddie Krueger) and Steve Kanaly (aka Dallas). The film, although originally thought of as a surfing movie is far from that. It is a film totally encompassing the late 60's and early 70's around the vietnam era and the pressures of the strained relationships of three friends. A film worth seeing for anyone who grew up during that time.

Summary: Stuffit, LIFEGUAAAAARD!!!
Review: This is a classic. I think you really need to surf in order to really relate to it though. I could see how this movie could come off cheesy (and I admit there is some velveeta going on in this one), but as a whole, it gives you that whole "aloha" vibe crossed with the craziness of rambunctious youth.
It's hard not to draw parallels between growing up on the beach, and watching this movie. The innocence of youth filling their idle time with waves, babes, and beers. Through the eventual growing pains of being forced to "grow up", to the eventual realization that life is a combination of fun and tragedy.
It's easy to pine for the carefree days of our youth. It's pathetic to be "stuck" in that moment. Like The Bear says: "growing up's tough ain't it kid?" Like you will see with this movie. Everyone has to discover at their own pace that life is constantly moving forward. Youth is part of a series of moments we go through that can be packed away and taken out to enjoy every now and then. But it is a phase. Not Life.

Summary: Just a Lemon next to te pie
Review: This is the best surf film ever made. Great characters, great story, and in an era where surfing was still simple and getting started as a sport. This film is more about the culture than the surfing itself and was very well done. Definately worth watching and this would be a great gift to anyone who has ever surfed.
