Surf's Up, and my IQ is down...
If you're kids are young and still like animated movies, then take them to this. But be warned, while the animation is sweet, the movie will bore you to tears. I am an avid fan of penguin movies, and I was disappointed by this. Very cute, but very boring.

Of the mish mash of penguin films, this is easily the best
This movie blows that really boring penguin film, Happy Feet, off the stage. With likable characters and a plot you actually care about, it succeeds on an emotional level, as well as having lots of laughs. The animation is good and the soundtrack is solid. Rent this and steer clear of Happy Feet.

good for little kids
o my god where to start with this movie it was pretty crappy, but its not that bad it had good parts, but the only problem really is a little bit of language nothing too bad typical of a pg,and some sexaul stuff between the main characher and a love interset, and some mild vilogence with surfing accidents otherwise im sure your little kids will love this movie

A superb (and utterly breathtaking) animated movie
When I was going to see Surf's Up for the first time, I didn't have high expectations. After watching the entire 88 minutes, I came out pleasantly suprised. Surf's Up is a fun animated comedy with heart, wit, and charm. The CGI is amazing, and kids (and parents) won't be disappointed by its engaging story. After seeing Ratatouille, Surf's Up rose my expectations on movies rivaling Pixar, as this was probably better than the former. Parents should keep in mind that there is a bit of language for a family-animated comedy. And some scenes are startling for younger kids.

Not bad.
It might not be too funny, but definitely the best penguin movie in a while.

Better Than I Expected!
I thought the movie wasn't really that bad, and it's a movie that I find many little kids will enjoy. I'm 14, so I noticed that there were some innuendos that will probably fly over little kids' heads. Parents might want to tell their kids not to repeat some of the words in this movie, but other than that, I'm glad that this movie didn't make me sick of penguin movies! It's fresh!

Great kids movie.
I saw this movie opening day, and I must say that it is worth the hype. I am madly in love with Shia LaBeuof and Jon Heder so I just had to see this movie! It's filled with laughs that the whole family can enjoy, not just the kids. The social behavior in Surf's Up is great and actually somewhat inspiring. In the end, Cody Maverick gives up his chance of winning to save Chicken Joe, who is being attacked by the big bully. I loved this movie. Its really cool!
