I Need Something Stronger

Surfing Peter Pans may actually grow up.

This movie's basic charm can be attributed to my endless fascination with the Peter Pan syndrome. Add Cornwall, surfing, and a combination of Sean Pertwee and Ewan McGregor and there's something for every (living) female on the planet. Will they ever grow up? But, in point of fact, one of the reasons that I loved this movie is that I don't think I really want them to. What could be more perfect than endless days of watching the waves (or waiting for the waves, to be more precise)? (I saw Endless Summer when it came out - and have been a surfer want-to-be ever since.) Combine that with a decent fry-up, a trifle/whip cream episode, and a really sweet ending, and all I can say is WOW. I've watched it four times in the last month, and am endlessly charmed by the characters (it's obviously not easy being young in England). (Notice that I did not mention the plot.)
