by Sloucho  - Top 500, Jul 06 '01
Pros: Donal Logue delivers poor lines well.
Cons: The other characters set him up with poor lines delivered poorly.
"Remember," says Dex (Donal Logue) to his friend Dave (Kimo Willis), "both men and women wanna have sex. It's natural, except we're on different time tables. Women wanna have sex fifteen minutes after us, so if you hold out for twenty, she'll be...

by pmills1210  in Movies, - Top 500, Oct 01 '00
Pros: Donal Logue, Greer Goodman, subtle humor
Cons: Familiar subject, but fun
In the Chinese philosophy known as Taoism, one is encouraged to live a simple life and to not interfere in the natural course of events. In this way, one increases one's chances for leading a happy life. In The Tao Of Steve, a group of...

by Grouch - Top 200, Mar 29 '01
Pros: As the fat, happy romantic lead, Donal Logue creates a one-of-a-kind character
Cons: Not all the humor works all the time
“Look at me. Technically, I shouldn’t be getting laid. But I do. And you know why? Because when I’m hanging out with a woman, that’s all I’m doing—hanging out, talking, listening. I’m not sitting there thinking of how to get in bed with her....

Pros: Some good performances. Some sharp dialog.
Cons: Plays like someone's home movies.
I arrived in Miami and was immediately whisked away to the lavish new ship, the Norwegian Sun, in a stretch limo which just had room for me, my costume changes, and the thirty-seven pieces of Louis Vuitton which contain the little necessaries for...

by d_fienberg - Top 500, May 22 '02
Pros: Donal Logue, Greer Goodman, a frequently witty script and the setting
Cons: Directionless, uninteresting story, weak supporting cast
There's a disconcerting moment, around 35 minute into Jenniphr Goodman's The Tao of Steve, where it becomes clear that the film has gone about as far as it can go. Having set up the characters and the situation wonderfully, it's suddenly clear that the...

Pros: Intelligent, funny and warm-hearted
Cons: Tacked-on Hollywood ending
This review marks the beginning of a change in focus for me. I just moved back to St. Louis, from Columbia, Mo., and my struggling-writer day job no longer involves getting paid to screen movies before they come out.
No, I actually have to pay...

by ChrisJarmick - Top 50, Aug 20 '00
Pros: Smart, simple, wonderful little movie that most will relate to.
Cons: I don't know.. lack of nudity? The fact the film won't be as popular as junk like Hollow Man?
The Tao of Steve is a truffle of a movie that won the hearts of nearly everyone who saw the film at The Sundance Film Festival. However, make no mistake, this is still a simple little film. There's nothing in the film that will take your breath away,...

Pros: Very funny flick with a memorable lead character
Cons: None in my estimation
Anytime you can learn tips about how to relate with the opposite sex, while being highly amused and entertained, it behooves you to part with your hard-earned cash. Such is the case with Jenniphr (no typo) Goodman's "The Tao of Steve," another...

Pros: Spectacular dialogue.
Cons: I hate these stupid Pros\Cons lists.
I do so much loath my girlfriend right now. She is in the hospital, tending her vertigoed sister. I want so very much to be in my sugar pie's shoes right now. I remember the last time I was in the hospital. My brother had double pneumonia. I'd go around...

by BrickHaus , Apr 10 '01
Pros: Witty and introspective, a jewel of the cinema.
Cons: Draggy in some spots.
The Tao of Steve is an extremely witty, refreshing piece of cinema that explores the facets of one man’s emotional transition and journey in matters of the heart. Our central character Dex (Donal Logue) starts out as a wisecracking ladies man who...

by BillTK , May 15 '01
Pros: endearing characters; some clever dialogue
Cons: drab cinematography; some overwritten dialogue
What an odd topsy-turvy reaction I had to the casting of this film. The critical reaction at large was how good Donal Logue was in the lead role of Dex, an overweight Lothario/slacker living in the American Southwest blissfully unaware of his own...

Pros: Realistic
Cons: Too objective
The Tao of Steve, one of last year's Sundance sensations, presents a step-by-step guide to courting women from a fat guy's disadvantage. The film, which has the potential to become the guide to dating for men (darn me, but I listened), is "based on...

by saulsbury , Apr 11 '01
Pros: Greer Goodman and Donal Logue
Cons: Dex's unlikable traits
I confess: I am a Steve. At least by name.
In The Tao of Steve, "Steves" are the ultimate cool guys. They are the Steve McGarretts, Steve Austins and Steve McQueens of the world.
Donal Logue plays Dex, the propagator of the Tao...

by huskerdu99 , Aug 15 '00
Pros: vaguely anti-capitalist
Cons: not nearly as funny as it thinks it is
They say it's an "independent" movie, but as far as originality goes, this thing references more movies than the Leonard Maltin book.
It contains the slacking of "Reality Bites," the self-aggrandizing womanizing of...

Pros: Donal Logue is a terrific comedic presence
Cons: Some of the supporting players are unnerving at times.
(Dir: Jenniphr Goodman, Starring Donal Logue, Greer Goodman, Kimo Wills, Ayelet Kaznelson, David Aaron Baker, Nina Jaroslaw, John Hines, Shelby Craig, and Craig D. Lafayette)
A "Steve" is someone that has an undeniable charm that can take any...
