    I think it's great

    I agree with another comment that the critics shouldn't have torn this movie apart like some others! It wasn't all that bad. There were those random parts that you don't think should be in there, but it is a funny movie that you can never get sick of!

    The crowd that I believe the film is aiming for are those struggling athletes or skaters. There is supposed to be a little more struggle than what they put in, but it isn't a drama, it's comedy. Mike Vogel played his part well, along with Adam Brody. Most of the skating was stunt men, but there were those little scenes where the actors would actually have to skate! These actors actually took plenty of training to learn how to pull off the skating.

    This is a movie that you can watch with your friends over and over again and never get sick of!

    Blue Crush meets Road Trip with Skateboards

    Take Blue Crush and Road Trip to the asphalt with boys instead of girls. The movie is an entertaining over-the-top story about four friends who decide to make the summer more interesting by trying to live the dream of becoming pro skateboarders. Their path to potential stardom is one full of roadblocks of all shapes and kinds. Don't look for any award winning performances here, but do look for some good laughs and some good and great skateboarding sequences.

    Mike Vogel, Vince Vieluf, Adam Brody and Joey Kern provide acceptable performances as stereotype characters sticking to the molds they have been given. Their performances are not bad, nor are they great, which allows the movie to be very watch-able - I don't think you'll be cringing because of poor acting, as you might have in other films. There are a lot of cameos (some good, some bad) in this movie - Randy Quaid, Christopher McDonald, Christine Estabrook, Bob(cat) Goldthwait, and Tom Green are the most recognizable ones.

    If you like skateboarding and you're not going to be watching with too critical of an eye you'll enjoy the move even more than most. It's a watch-able, enjoyable movie. Hey, I didn't check my watch once to see if its almost over yet! Enjoy!

    Some good performances... better than I expected

    I originally rented "Grind" because I am a big fan of "Jackass" and four or the guys from that show are in this film. I will get to them in a moment.

    First of all, I found the dialogue and the situations too predictable at times. Secondly, the "hot girls" all over the place became annoying very quickly. With that being said, I actually liked the movie. It's not at all something that I would normally like.

    Now, I wasn't expecting to laugh much because the type of things I find funny aren't generally things other people find funny. However I did chuckle several times at Adam Brody, who, in my opinion, did the best job of the four main fellows. I'm so glad that there can be actors who are very cute AND dorky like him. I also though Vince Veleuf (sp?) did a great job with what he was given.

    I was a bit surprised that they casted Bam off to be a jerk. I mean, he was playing himself, and he often beats the crap out of his dad and destroys things in his house. But I guess it's up to everyone to have their own opinion of him. (I, for one, think he's hilarious.) I was also pleased to see Preston Lacy and Wee-man in cameo roles. However, the most shocking portrayal by a "Jackass" member was that of Ehren McGhehey. I've known Ehren for almost four years to be an adorable young man, commonly going by the alias "Danger Ehren" and wearing a helmet with the Jackass logo on it, big goggles, and dusty coveralls with the word "SCARS" on the back. Seeing him as a ghetto g-thug white boy was incredibly strange. But he pulled it off so well. It was the first time I had to really look at him as "Ehren the actor" and to tell the truth, he did an outstanding job.

    I would give this film a 7/10.

    BEST MOVIE!

    i never even heard of this movie until my boyfriend told me about it and made me watch it the other day. i thought i was going to hate it because its a skateboarding movie and i wasn't really into skating that much, but i loved it so much! it was hilarious! but most adults or mature people don't like it because basically it's just not the movie for them. Matt Jensen was the best character, hes so funny! i loved when he said the thing about their vibes being like a heard of elk. that cracked me up! and also the dance they did in the club was so great. if you've never seen this movie and don't really like sophisticated movies but movies when you can just sit down and not really have to think about whats happening, you should definitely watch grind!

    It was at least entertaining....

    OK so maybe this was not an Oscar performance by well, anyone. But really, let's face it, there are worse movies. And, yeah, it entertained me while it lated. So while I can't say that this will be on my top ten favorites by any standards, I guess it wasn't so bad. The cameos of Bam and Tom Green were decent. And any movie with clowns and midgets can't be totally terrible, right? The music didn't totally suck. There was "Gross Humor", which I personally like. The ending was a bit campy. To be honest, it would take a real moron not to follow it totally it was so transparent. On the whole, I say watch it. It is a good there is nothing better on flick. It won't totally bore you because it is fully devoid of anything worth learning.
