Rating: B- -- Ambitious in goal, John Millius' tale suffers from an inconsistent tone, trying to be elegiac, nostalgic, and mythical in depicting the impact of Vietnam and aging on a clique of three surfers between 1962 and 1974 but the acting and imagery are good. Full Review

A poorly made film that lacks ambiguity and results excessively evident. [Full Review in Spanish] Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- Looking back at the strong, young cast, the evocative sense of time and place and the thrilling ocean imagery, Big Wednesday certainly deserves a spot among the pantheon of classic surfing films. Full Review

Imparts quintessential elements of the male psyche more persuasively than Milius' other gung-ho action pictures

Rating: A -- [VIDEO ESSAY] Milius constantly revisits the ocean's churning surf as a literal and metaphoric yardstick to underscore the movie's themes of personal responsibility, loyalty, and the pressures of unpredictable social change. Full Review

Description by OLDIES.com:

No matter what rolled in on the tides of time, California surfing buddies Matt, Jack and Leroy knew they'd stick together. And that they’d be ready when a rare 20-foot swell hits the coast.
