I got carried away by IMDb's 7.8/10 rating for this movie. Turned out to be 90 minutes of unadulterated torture.Some guys surf board gets stolen and it turns out the guy who stole it is the valley. The guy whose board is stolen gathers a motley group of friends who are all lame. They set off to retrieve the board. But only once when they get the board they now want revenge. Its actually pathetic even trying to describe the plot The acting is pathetic. The story line is rubbish at best.Am seriously wondering who the 58 people are who ensured this movie is ranked so high here and what there frame of mind was to vote accordingly. Too bad IMDb doesn't allow to rank less than one. If i had my way i wouldn't even give it a rating of 0.Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
Well the movie is not that bad in actual! Sure it doesn't have a great story line, but its better than the most movies of of this kind which i happen to have suffered overtime. Acting is really good and dialogues are mature which was a nice surprise for me. Sure it seems that someone has made a movie after properly doing their homework.
It is made with a different sort of perspective and has more to it than a couple of hot girls showing off their body which is sadly what most of "summer surf beach movies" are made off these days and may not appeal to all users. But i found it interesting and recommend it.
Also it contains some fun and witty stuff so you may get laugh every now and then :)

Take this movie for what it is. A snapshot of what life was like in the 80's in a suburban Southern California beach community. The correct approach is to soak up the feeling it evokes not rip the plot up. The plot isn't the point. Granted, it may not be a period piece many are interested in but it is accurate depiction of lower middle class life was like at that time with a lot of silliness mixed in. These are kids from single-family non-attentive households, not aspiring to anything beyond they know outside their little universe of beaches, girls and recreational drugs. It also shows how a gang mentality begins. These surfer kids were each others family and were very territorial. In this case a kid from the "Valley" (San Fernando Valley) was trespassing and stole one of the local kid's surfboards triggering a manhunt to retrieve it. No plan, no strategy, no thinking three steps ahead. In other words exactly how teenagers behave and think. It's lucky they were able to film in a place that basically hasn't changed in 20 years.
After receiving a new surfboard from his good friend and mentor, "Mike Mooney" (Matthew Lillard), a recent high school graduate known simply as "J. D." (Khan Chittenden) takes it out to the ocean for the first time. To his dismay, after riding a particularly nice wave, he wipes out and loses sight of it as he goes under. Feeling disappointed that it hasn't washed up on the beach, he asks his friends, "Sparky" (Colton James) and "Lardo" (Ray Santiago), for help in finding it. It's then revealed that a teenager named "Brian Kramer" (Andy Fischer-Price) was last seen driving off with it to his home in the San Fernando Valley. So, with his three friends, they set out to visit Brian Kramer. Also with them are J. D.'s girlfriend "Anne" (Caitlin Wachs) and her best friend "Iris" (Allison Scagliotti), who seems to know more than she lets on. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that I didn't have high expectations for this film, and as a result, I wasn't overly disappointed after watching it. The plot was okay, and some of the actors performed reasonably well. Unfortunately, movies like this tend to rely too heavily on certain stereotypes about surfers, and this film goes too far in that regard. Likewise, for a comedy, there wasn't much humor either. That said, despite the stereotypes, I suppose the movie wasn't too bad overall, and I rated it accordingly.
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...
