Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I watched this because of Mark Harmon's name, but didn't expect much. Instead, my husband and I were really surprised at how good a movie it was. The acting was excellent for a small production...actually, it has some of the most honest emotional scenes in it I've seen in a long time. The pacing and editing were great, too. Music was excellent. The only reason I didn't give it a 10 was for what some might consider a "predictable" plot. Well, yeah, it was...but still, it was about everyday problems that real people deal with. The relationships and family interaction were very realistic. I like it because, despite their issues and faults, they push past them and work everything out to a good conclusion. And...the surfing rocks! Great surfing scenes. I recommend this for families, and anybody who loves the beach life. Beautiful SoCal scenery...they capture the lifestyle perfectly.

The movie is not very credible, the surfing (few) clips are just OK.In the movie everything is just OK.If someone is to do a movie just to be OK i believe that there are others of expression that are better suited. An article on a magazine, a Youtube.What i believe is that there are surfers out there that are land locked like myself and it is through these movies that we allow our minds return to the liquid.Bias? Sure. After all surf is something that you feel and you can't explain. I can tell you that i didn't feel it at all here.Now that you have understood where i'm coming from, allow me to explain what are the other issues: 1 - the people that actually surf are really NOT the actors 2 - the actors are NOT actors.... really 3 - the idea that surf is a wood panel door truck is to cliché'Maybe it would work for TV. In a movie is very painful.

This is by far the best surfing movie I have ever seen. It has a great story and a perfect cast. Jeremy Sumpter and Eric Christian Olsen work GREAT together as brothers.Jeremy Sumpter is a very gifted actor. He is unbelievably talented. This movie is just good,clean entertainment,and we could definately use more movies like this nowadays. > Also,the surfing rocks! Mark Harmon has been a favorite of mine for a couple of years now. I'm not sure I agree with his moustache though. It would've looked better on him if it was shorter on the sides. I love the opening sequence,with Skeet (Jeremy Sumpter) riding his skim board near the shore. Skim boarding is fun to do, and fun to watch!I'm giving it an 11 out of 10! I SERIOUSLY recommend this to any surfing fans,surf movie fans, and anyone who likes great entertainment and hot beaches!

Every minute is important in this movie! Hit the pause button when you need to go to the bathroom, because every moment counts here! Of course there is a lot of cool surfing action, but that is not all this movie is about! It is about family, emotion and standing up for what is right! If you like "Searching For Bobby Fischer" you should like this one as well! Not to mention (or should I??)--> The sound track is perfect!
