Endless Bummer

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.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen in the history of seeing movies and I have seen a lot of rubbish, this however tops them all.

There is no content and there is no story, it is an endless stinking pile of goo where clichés one after another is being jammed down the throat of the viewers of this flick. During the few moments this is not the "content" of the movie, the "content" consist of fillers.

Any school kid that makes a movie can make a movie with more entertaining content than this movie.

DO NOT WATCH THIS, you will regret it and wished you could undo the traumatizing experience that will give you scars from the boredom for the rest of your life.

This movie just goes to show you that the National Lampoon name doesn't really mean anything anymore. This feels like a low-budget TV Movie, with a simple linear story, basic acting, and a stereotypical cast. However, it isn't "awful"... it is saved by some interesting outcomes I wasn't expecting at all, and a cast that doesn't try to hard with their limited dialogue.

I don't know why they called this "Surf Party" as their is hardly any surfing, and hardly any partying. It's about a stolen surf board, and the short quest to venture from Ventura (see what I did there) into the Valley to recover it.

Since this is National Lampoon branded film, you might be expecting a lot of nudity. But this film doesn't deliver much even on that front... so you will be disappointed if that is all you seek.

Not much to recommend, really. If you're from Ventura or surrounding areas you'll see familiar sites (I enjoyed that aspect at least). However, the "Wonder Years" style of opening and closing seems to be a particularly cheesy flavor for this genre of film.

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.

If you liked Dude Where's My Car you're gonna love this one. Forget the people who are giving low scores, this is the one to watch!!!
