SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Yeah Right is an excellent movie if you are interested in skate boarders and the sport (art really) of skate boarding. This movie features thousands of amazing tricks. For example, Eric Konstons grind around a curved handrail, Paul Rodrigez's Backwards skate board maneuvers, Reynold's backwards 360 degree spin down a large grass hill, Chris Coles magnificent 360 degree kick flip down a large set of four sidewalks, and crowd favorite Ryan Shecklar hard-flipping the famous El Toro 20 stair set. All I can say is, wow! Buy this video, and you will be so excited. In one section, the riders use some kind of levitating skateboard device (obviously a top secret project) to do sweet moves down stairs and slopes!

Some of todays best skateboarders are in this video like Eric Koston and P-Rod. It had a really great filming job at the beginning when they filmed them at board level. Then they had some great parts like Heath's part (it sucks that he fell so far on that 50-50). Then the "magic skateboard" was really funny. The best thing is that the chocolate team is also in it. Then they deleted the boards and they weren't riding anything (watch it to understand). It' great.

Spike Jonze comes in to direct yet another Girl video. He truly shines with his over the top skits. Almost all of the Girl riders make an appearance, except for Guy Mariano who might as well stay at home and live off of board royalties like the leech that he is. Best part is a toss up here between McCrank, Koston, Carroll, and Marc Johnson. Any one of the four could take it, but I'm leaning towards Koston/Johnson due to the level of innovation from both. A great soundtrack goes a long way towards making a video good or bad, and this video does not disappoint. Everything from Bowie, to a quick Public Enemy cameo (along with Owen Wilson). Marc Johnson takes the award for funniest skit, it ties in with his first Chocolate board graphic, and it's hilarious.This video is different from others released recently in that it's not all hammers and rails and whatnot. While there are a fair amount of rail tricks in this video, a lot of the focus is on tech tricks, something not seen much in this heyday of rail ams. This video is a breath of fresh air.
On a downside, as I previously mentioned, Guy Mariano has ONE trick. One. He last appeared in a video 4 years ago, with the Chocolate tour. He had 4 years to film for this video, and get got one trick. The footage looks old too. There's absolutely no excuse for him not having a full part. Anyone who has seen his part in Mouse will see this as the biggest disappointment of the video. Among other disappointments, Rick Howard doesn't have a full part either, but has a fair amount of footage.The skits in this video surpass the skits in Mouse tenfold. They are hilarious. Once you see the no-board skit, you won't be able to stop laughing. They didn't photoshop the boards out, they green-screened them out. Hence the bucket of green boards on the back of the tape box. Also watch for tricks in the video with green/blue screened kicker ramps. Its funny the first few times, and then you sorta start wishing that they hadn't done it.Overall, I'd say this is a 9/10. It would get the extra star if Mariano had a full part, or even a few more tricks. (no Sheffey footage either, but he was in jail)

Girl's Goldfish and Mouse - ar all time classic skate movies - right up there with Unquestionable, Video Days and yes goddammit Animal Chin. Spike Jonze is on hand to lend his uniquely goofy vision - in several segments such as the lovely invisible board sequence, and a very, very funny skit starring multi nosed Owen Wilson - worth seeing for this alone - a very simple class in clever mis-direction. As for the skating...well, whaddya want? Just look at the girl team - you get it all - big and tech. If you're stunned by Rick McCranks part you're gonna go nuts for Kostons. Mike Carroll has a pretty good section here too, shame Guy Mariano could only pull one trick out of the bag.(SPOILERS)
Yeah Right! features each team member pulling an insane trick, with the kicker ramp photoshopped out - see if you can spot them.Worth buying without a doubt, you'd be crazy to not watch it.
