Agree with the trashers but...

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.

Just a great movie

My wife & I limit ourselves to watching this once a year, just like Galaxy Quest. Two fundamentally perfect movies.

Must see for any guy
Added 9/12/2008
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.

romantic and quirky
Added 3/16/2008
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.

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.
