==Film role==
Phil and Stew Deedle are two fraternal twin brothers who lived in Hawaii with her wealty father, Elton. The two decide to miss school to go on a surfing expedition with some friends in their birthday day, they're expelled from school for having many absences. Their father tire of Phil and Stew’s immature behavior and send them to a camp site in Yellowstone National Park in the state of Wyoming to straighten them out, it leaves the boys horrified. 
Phil and Stew arrive in Wyoming ill-prepared for the coldest weather, they disembark from the plane wearing shorts, slippers and hula t-shirts. They attract the attention of a small crowd when they summon a remote control box containing a minibar that they use to prepare hula drinks. Afterwards, they leave the terminal, noting a rough-looking mountain man from whom they mock, to their shock the man reveals a sign with his surnames written, indicating that he is the passenger. Major Flowers gets disgusted by the boys' behavior on the drive back to Yellowstone from the airport, Flowers reveals that his once successful camp was shut down by the children’s parents and their lawyers but the camp wasn’t necessary anymore because he intended for the Deedles to undergo survival training. Flowers becomes distracted in describing his plan and fails to pay attention to the road, eventually driving over the edge of a hillside and crashing into a river.  Thinking he had killed the Deedles, he runs off thinking he’ll hide from the authorities.
The Deedles wake up from their collision and find some women's clothes they picked up in Flower's truck before it hit, as it was their only option for dry clothes, they chose to wear them. Then they begin to walk toward the main entrance of the park, find some of their equipment and decide to land on a long hill with their hula box remotely in tow. Phil and Stew avoid a long line of traffic waiting for entry into Yellowstone, but unable to slow down or gain sufficient control of their boards, they hit the park sign and are bumped by the hula machine - breaking their helmets. When the Park Rangers arrived, the only identity the teens had were the names "Mel" written on Phil's sweatshirt etiquette and "Mo" written on Stew's.
The boys are having difficulty living under their new identities because the rangers know that the real Mel and Mo are vegetarians. they are forced to become also to maintain the disguise.  Because of their stupid surfer nature, the boys don't get along with the commanding ranger, Captain Pine. but Phil ends up falling in love with Pine's stepdaughte, the lieutenant  Jesse Ryan. to whom the Captain is very protective. This leads to a series of accidents for which the Offices are guilty and lead them to an unfavorable situation with Captain Pine. The Deedles discover that a former ranger named Slater feels he was betrayed by the park, the Rangers and especially Captain Pine, so he set up a secret underground shelter near Old Faithful and devised a plan to divert the flow of water from Old Faithful to a new geyser he created on his own land, which was christened "New Faithful". 
Unable to gain any support for investigation from their fellow Rangers, Phil and Stew take matters into their own hands and try to thwart Slater's plan, however the real rangers Mel and Mo arrive at the Ranger base at a very early time to reveal that Phil and Stew are not who they claim to be. Pine, Jesse and the other rangers are disgusted by their dishonesty and banish them from Yellowstone. While the Deedles are walking down the highway trying to hitch hike, the big panorama emerges in Phil and they devise a plan to return to Yellowstone in order to stop Slater once and for all. They attach a hook to a railing on the road, and when an unsuspecting car passes, it picks up the landing gear and tows the Deedles (who are using parachutes), essentially a terrestrial version of the paragliding. A few hundred feet high, the two notice a familiar stench and discover that the person towing them is no other than Major Flowers - who gets distracted by his clandestine passengers and subsequently drives over a cliff (again) crashing into a river. The boys parachute into the entrance to Slater's underground tunnel network and go underground, where they locate and subdue Slater's two comparades, Mr Crabbe and Mr. Nemo. They devise a plan to redirect new faithful's water back to Old Faithful, and to escape wearing heat-resistant clothing and escaping through old faithful's plumbing and beak. The plan worked, Slater is exposed and the Deedles become heroes by saving the Old Faithful. In a happy turn of events, the force of the water explosion was so great that it created a small lake that naturally created waves big enough to surf, and the boys were able to create a park from it. Earn your father's respect for your success, from Captain Pine for your help saving Yellowstone and for Phil, love for Jesse.
