In his early 30s, the beer-bellied Dex has things figured out. He's widely read in philosophy, he's studied Steve McQueen the prototypical cool American hero, and he's distilled Buddhism and Taoism into three laws that make him a hit with women: don't express desire, do something heroic in front of her, then retreat. A part-time job with young children, beer, guys, Frisbee golf, pool, poker, his dog Astro, and sex: what could be missing? Then, at his ten-year college reunion,... (Full plot summary below)

Full Plot Details

In his early 30s, the beer-bellied Dex has things figured out. He's widely read in philosophy, he's studied Steve McQueen the prototypical cool American hero, and he's distilled Buddhism and Taoism into three laws that make him a hit with women: don't express desire, do something heroic in front of her, then retreat. A part-time job with young children, beer, guys, Frisbee golf, pool, poker, his dog Astro, and sex: what could be missing? Then, at his ten-year college reunion, Dex meets Syd, and the "Tao of Steve" may not be enough to get him what he wants. Plus, Syd remembers something important that Dex has forgotten. Can a cool smart guy, 50 pounds overweight, find his bliss?

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kevin ThomasA constant, idiosyncratic pleasure that leaves us eager to see what the Goodmans and Logue will do next.
Boston Globe - 10/10 by Jay CarrOne of the year's most winning performances, Logue's Dex will grow on you as he stumbles toward emotional fullness.
Rolling Stone - 10/10 by Peter TraversIt's a tiny, sunny character study about a fat guy who's an unlikely chick magnet. And as such it's a pip.
New York Post - 9/10 by Jonathan ForemanAn ideal antidote to the big-budget bores that studios put out in late summer, The Tao of Steve is a charming, funny and refreshingly smart Gen-X romantic comedy in the tradition of "When Harry Met Sally" - with the bonus of an engagingly laid-back Southwestern flavor.
Slate - 9/10 by David EdelsteinWent down like a slice of warm pecan pie topped with two scoops of Ben and Jerry's Bovinity Divinity.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzThe film reminded me of those old-fashioned Hollywood studio romantic/comedy films of the '30s and '40s...
Cinerina - 9/10 by Karina MontgomeryThe Tao of Steve has some genuinely comic scenes, some emotionally interesting scenes, and some inter-sexual insights worthy of expression.
Matinee Magazine - 9/10 by Chuck RudolphAnother reverse-sexist diatribe that knows not what it says about anything related to the sexes.
Goatdog's Movies - 8/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.I cannot believe this movie didn't make a boatload of money.
Film Journal International - 8/10 by Emily BobrowWill woo you into shedding your romantic-comedy fatigue.
