Watch: The Tao of Steve 2000 123movies, Full Movie Online – 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?.
Plot: Underachieving, overweight kindergarten teacher Dex finds a woman who forces him to reexamine his Zen-like system of seduction.

Entertaining, Insightful, Funny, Moving.This film was a delight to see. Immediately after viewing the DVD I ran the director’s commentary that was nearly as entertaining to listen to as the film was! All of the participants in the commentary (including the director, writer, and both leads) were intelligent, amusing, and and very entertaining: I wanted to invite them all over for dinner and play poker and talk philosophy (and of course, the Tao of Steve) until dawn. I take that back, after viewing the stunning photography of the film, I want them to invite *me* to dinner in Sante Fe! I did have to stop the film to look up solipsistic, though
. I want to see more where this came from and so will you if you choose to view this wonderful film!
Let me say this about Steve
I feel that while there were some good parts about the film, mainly that it was sweet and sometimes funny, I found it was somewhat overated. I think that the Dex character (played with maybe just a tad of credibility by Donal Logue) was actually a little dumb when it came to romance. Dex is a character who believes the best way to get a girl into bed is to make her think that he doesn’t want her in bed. That doesn’t make sense. The chick most of the time knows that when a guy asks her out, it isn’t because he is a gay guy who wants to be just friends and not sex, but because he wants her most intimate of places. Dex is also a liar and fat, which (even with a bit of bad sarcastic charm) usually can not get girls, especially when a guy is more transparent than used Neutrogena. Not too realistic in my book (even though I’m no one to talk), but, I guess it isn’t that bad if you have seen everything else. Some of the film I found interesting, but the rest, maybe fair. C+
