Don't watch this, even if your into all the topless or bikini clad girls. The films is just plain pathetic.
This film has a laughable plot, has no comedy, and bad acting, in fact its a travesty it was ever made. I though I would never say this, but I'd rather watch a Uwe Boll movies instead of this.
This movie is really bad. It should in fact be banned. The video store where I rented this from should really keep movies like this behind the counter, anyone could just pick it up, and rent it.
Basic story.. Underdogs who can't surf have a week to learn how to surf and beat REAL surfers who probably have been surfing all their lives, at the World High School surf championships in Costa Rica. And there seems to only be 3 teams that enter this contest. The local team from Costa Rica. Laguna Beach Team B(<----underdogs) and Laguna Beach Team A (The bad-guys).
This movie sucks so much I can't believe I'm using more then 3 paragraphs to let you know how much it sucks. There's notions of bestiality, lame fart jokes (I thought that fart jokes are alway funny.... I've found a movie where it's not), and a pretty crappy brave-heart imitation. Something about "You can take our lives, but you can't take our SPIRIT!!!). This movie should really be banned. After I've finished this "review" I'm starting a web site where people sign a petition to get crap like this outlawed. If I could give this movie a minus score, I would.
Don't watch it, please, I beg you.... you'll thank me later
It was interesting that at about the 6 minute mark of the movie, the plot started to become apparent. This was about the same time I finished my first drink, whereby and tried to use the glass tumbler to slash my arteries to end the painful sensation I was experiencing through the TV screen. This may sound extreme, but I suggest you only question those other lost souls who have witnessed this movie to at least try to understand. Glancing at my wife who loves a good comedy, I found her in the fetal position, shaking and inconsolable due to the footage she had to endure. And this was only now 7 minutes in.
We made it to the end of the film, thinking to ourselves it couldn't get any worse. However, the Jews said that early in World war 2 and we were both wrong.
The ending made my day however, the Gothic chick with no mates turned out to be a blond babe who could instantly surf, meaning everyone was happy and lived happily ever after on the beach. I will admit, any movie that is strong enough to tie up all the loose ends in such a way is pure production and directional brilliance.
The movie was nothing short of a modern day cinematic classic, up there with the godfather, the shaw-shank redemption and that opening sequence of saving private Ryan.
I recommend it be played to suspects during police interrogations in order to seek quick confessions, whereby people will admit to anything in order to have it turned off.
Should you be on a date with a new partner and it isn't working out so well, pop this DVD in and they will be gone in no time, never to return.
Watch at your own peril.
