Surfs UP and not 'alf as bad as the other two reviewers are making out....
All in all this was way funnier and fresher than I'd expected.
Three buddies go in search of a handmade beautiful surfboard that gets stolen.
Nicely put together and all in all an easy view.
It's never gonna win an Oscar but it is well made and if you like stoner surfer movies then this ain't bad at all - nothing' too offensive but as a buddy movie I've seen a lot worse.
We enjoyed the summer of our youth vibe, it really is pretty good if you just want to chill and watch a movie. Some nice surfing sequences and the obligatory stoners and chicks - no brainer stuff...

Relied Too Heavily on Stereotypes in Lieu of Comedy
After receiving a new surfboard from his good friend and mentor, "Mike Mooney" (Matthew Lillard), a recent high school graduate known simply as "J. D." (Khan Chittenden) takes it out to the ocean for the first time. To his dismay, after riding a particularly nice wave, he wipes out and loses sight of it as he goes under. Feeling disappointed that it hasn't washed up on the beach, he asks his friends, "Sparky" (Colton James) and "Lardo" (Ray Santiago), for help in finding it. It's then revealed that a teenager named "Brian Kramer" (Andy Fischer-Price) was last seen driving off with it to his home in the San Fernando Valley. So, with his three friends, they set out to visit Brian Kramer. Also with them are J. D.'s girlfriend "Anne" (Caitlin Wachs) and her best friend "Iris" (Allison Scagliotti), who seems to know more than she lets on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I didn't have high expectations for this film, and as a result, I wasn't overly disappointed after watching it. The plot was okay, and some of the actors performed reasonably well. Unfortunately, movies like this tend to rely too heavily on certain stereotypes about surfers, and this film goes too far in that regard. Likewise, for a comedy, there wasn't much humor either. That said, despite the stereotypes, I suppose the movie wasn't too bad overall, and I rated it accordingly.
A different sort of movie!
Well the movie is not that bad in actual! Sure it doesn't have a great story line, but its better than the most movies of of this kind which i happen to have suffered overtime. Acting is really good and dialogues are mature which was a nice surprise for me. Sure it seems that someone has made a movie after properly doing their homework.
It is made with a different sort of perspective and has more to it than a couple of hot girls showing off their body which is sadly what most of "summer surf beach movies" are made off these days and may not appeal to all users. But i found it interesting and recommend it.
Also it contains some fun and witty stuff so you may get laugh every now and then :)

What is this junk?
This is the worst movie I have ever seen in the history of seeing movies and I have seen a lot of rubbish, this however tops them all.
There is no content and there is no story, it is an endless stinking pile of goo where clichés one after another is being jammed down the throat of the viewers of this flick. During the few moments this is not the "content" of the movie, the "content" consist of fillers.
Any school kid that makes a movie can make a movie with more entertaining content than this movie.
DO NOT WATCH THIS, you will regret it and wished you could undo the traumatizing experience that will give you scars from the boredom for the rest of your life.

Enjoyed It A Lot
I love surfer flicks. It's not a good one, but it's watchable. It's a cool beach flick. The main guy is kinda cool too. The blonde surfer type. Some of the chicks are hot. It's a laidback surfer film. Nothing to be learned. It's cool!
I don't know. Watch it if that sounds cool.
