Extremedays

I'm impressed... A little bit too much extreme sports for me, but other than that, wow. No cussing, no sex, but it still held enough interest that my non-Christian friends enjoyed it! If you haven't seen this yet, do!

I liked this movie: yes I was raised in the church, yes I was (and still am) a huge fan of the Christian alternative music genres, yes I do believe in God, and yes I'm not living with my parents anymore. That being said, growing up in the church, the usual activities and such offered to kids and teens were just plain pathetic. They lacked the element of cool that all kids thirst for and can't get enough of. So it's no surprise that a lot of kids and teens in the church and youth groups now still love this movie. It wasn't some Cheap barney with bible verses rip off or corny, poorly acted, "it could happen to you-Jesus loves everybody" films they push on kids all the time. It was funny, killer music, decent quality of film and film-making and extreme sports footage that kids will watch back to back to back until they can't stay awake anymore. I know the sports footage wasn't really them, but I never expected them to really do their own stunts. Can any actor really act and execute a darkslide with equal skill? This movie was a hope to teens and kids who thought Christian life and faith in God meant you had to be boring and uncool. Not stellar, but worth a weekend rental.

Great, entertaining movie. Super, extreme sports footage. It's refreshing to have a clean movie that the entire family can sit down and watch, without it being a movie only for young children. It's nice to have guys and a girl characters shown in a non-sexual relationship. No nudity or coarse language.

Just about young people having fun. Good references to the Lord without being preachy. Love the soundtrack with Newsboys, Tobymac, Skillet, etc.

TRIVIA: The car involved (which they say is a cross between a Jeep and a Toyota)is actually a Volkswagon "Thing" produced by Volkswagon to be an all- terrain military vehicle. Only 29,000 of these vehicles produced.

If you're looking for a movie with a lot of sexual humor, cursing, and inappropriate scenes, look elsewhere. Extreme Days is a (fairly clean movie and is a good alternative for people who liked the feel of "Road Trip" and "Euro Trip" but didn't like all the sexuality and language. If your idea of humor thrives on sex scenes and gross jokes, go elsewhere. The movie does have it's share of weird moments, such as the boys lighting their farts on fire and Extreme Shopping. This is a good clean movie you can watch with anyone including but not limited too, pastors, parents, nuns, old people, ninjas, and the FBI.I recommend it for parties, youth events, and just generally having a good time.

While this movie has its set backs, being poor filming and sometimes sketchy acting, for the first time in the past 5 years I have seen a movie that has interested me and does not have a rating above PG. This movie encompasses a variety of extreme sports, hence the name, but the characters all have sound moral principles and even stronger values.

This is definitely a movie for your youth group, or a group of friends who want to see a decent movie that actually has no drugs, sex, violence, or profanity in it. This movie strays away from the social norm of today and is based on good hearted comedy and viewing that is safe for the WHOLE family.

I think many directors should take head of the minority who wants good wholesome movies that have an awesome plot as well. I mean is cursing really a requirement? Well in Extreme days it isn't and the movie is better for it.
