GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Develiker terrible... so disappointed.
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
pkpera The weakest part of this is story. Spoiler: there is no surf party in it. Instead, we have some road movie like visit to LA . What means that real spoiler is movie's title.There was lot of cliché in. Pretty much forgettable. But there is one thing what I will remember for sure: our heroes were very mad and demanding because of their stolen surf board, while they regularly steal beer from small shops - 2 cases during their trip shown. To say something good: there were some cool shots of surfing in first part. There was Joan Jett in smaller role. But her character was really undeveloped. There was some moral blah at the end, but not what I hoped - about "do not steal" .
Trentshubert I thought it was very good. Not over the top. A piece of ART. Not too full of stupid gag humour, antics, and unrealistic conversations. I Felt it struck a chord on my heart. I wish it didn't carry the national lampoon name, because everyone who goes into it with the national lampoon in mind will be disappointed. I guess I can see that the characters are hard to relate to for most people. But still they feel real and true. They are honourable and thoughtful. It is certainly not the best movie ever, I think it is out of its time. Maybe to be made earlier or later and this thing would be more respected. anyway The actors did a good job. I Think it sort of has a dazed and confused; empire records vibe. Is it missing that extra push to put it into cult classic history? you decide. Anyway I plan to watch it with my son someday when he is older.I feel the other reviews are a little too hard on a good story. Van wilder, project X, super-bad, etc. have given us this weird expectation in our party movies. We want to see the loser spin out of control on the best night of this life and shlt his pants and blow up his parents house. This is not that story. It is a real story that stays with reality. Fun people doing the right thing.
Destroyer Wod 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.
intelearts 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...
