Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Highly Overrated But Still Good
Good movie but grossly overrated
Admirable film.
I saw this movie at the video store, and i am a bit of a sucker for those type of "teen overnight" movies. I decided to rent it and to be honest, i felt it was pretty disappointing. First, thankfully i didn't saw "Endless Bummer" cause i just saw its that movie repack with a new title. Awkward...So i start to watch it and it start as a typical presentation of all the movies protagonist, then incident happen(surf get stolen) and we can start the overnight. Problem is, its just not done right.This concept has been done many times, movies that did it right where the ones like Superbad, 21 and Over and so on. This movie just follow the group during that night but nothing really funny happen.They more or less find the guy, dad acknowledge what his son did was wrong, let them punch him a couple time and thats it. You would expect the thief to have friends, our protagonist trying to get back the surf board but always coming short of it, getting screwed and then eventually planning some kind of big revenge, i dunno. But the thing is, they find him, dad let them in, they pick the surf board, and thats it. How they wait and want revenge on the guy is extremely silly as well...Couple stuff happen to the secondary characters, but nothing major and i dunno what else to say, its just not as funny as this kind of movie should be. At the end you got a speech telling us about what happened to the characters like this was somewhat a real story, i dunno, but its not.I wouldn't say its totally terrible, just that it really lacks funny moments and for a 2009 movie repacked in late 2013... you wonder what was the motivation. Lets just say i am generous with a 5.
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 :)
Whenever I watch such kind of crap, I wonder are there real people like those in the movie. The acting is OK but there is no plot, fun, comedy etc. The whole story is about returning back a stolen surf board in an ordinary way. There is nothing interesting or funny. We have watched such kind of movies since now but even the worst had something enjoyable. This movie really needs a lot of things to be considered as good. I think directors use celebrities (likewise in this movie - Matthew Lillard) to get attraction. I wonder why known actors accept such kind of movies. There is no need to wait for the finished job. Anyone who reads the scenario would have said: "so what?"
I got carried away by IMDb's 7.8/10 rating for this movie. Turned out to be 90 minutes of unadulterated torture.Some guys surf board gets stolen and it turns out the guy who stole it is the valley. The guy whose board is stolen gathers a motley group of friends who are all lame. They set off to retrieve the board. But only once when they get the board they now want revenge. Its actually pathetic even trying to describe the plot The acting is pathetic. The story line is rubbish at best.Am seriously wondering who the 58 people are who ensured this movie is ranked so high here and what there frame of mind was to vote accordingly. Too bad IMDb doesn't allow to rank less than one. If i had my way i wouldn't even give it a rating of 0.Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
