Finally! Another movie that tributes the pioneers of skateboarding!
This movie was fantastic to me for two reasons: I am a (so-so) skateboarder and own all things skateboard or involved with the X-Games, and two, it was a good movie (though better if you're into all these things). I also highly reccommend "Dogtown and the Z-Boys", the first and classic skateboarding film.
I think the common sense review is a little too watered down on the social messages given. There is not only misbehaving, they are pretty rude and display very inappropriate social behaviors. In the context of the film it is okay because it is about real people, but I don't want my kids acting like that.
The movie is great and it shows the aspects of life that many youth in that era experienced. It is pretty cool to see how things evolved in the world of skateboarding.
when i saw the comercial to this movie it looked kinda like no plot and a dorky teen movie....but i went to see this movie n e ways and thot that it was actually ok....for 1 of those skateboarding movies...still alot of drug references and language for a pg-13..if ur over 13 i say go and see it
