    Not Great, But Not THAT Bad

    Wow, I was surprised to hear people rip this movie apart like they did Gigli (although it's understandable for Gigli). This movie wasn't all that bad. I thought the cast was pretty good, and I loved Sweet Lou, but he was the Dazed and Confused rip off that someone else said. Granted, I will never buy this movie when it comes out on DVD, but it was worth the few extra bucks for the laugh. If you guys want a good laugh, without a lot of thinking (or plot) then see Grind. 7/10

    High Expectations

    Now I suppose I am being judgmental. I enjoyed the movie Out Cold like anyone else, and when I saw the previews I was expecting Out Cold on skateboards. I was wrong.

    I don't know if anyone else noticed, but in grind, all of the tricks they do are basic at best. I mean, anyone who has been skating for 6 months can kickflip. But oh well maybe i am just being judgmental.

    Now as for the jokes, they were lame, Sure, the 13 year olds behind me were having a great time, but yeesh, I thought the jokes were over used and childish, especially the clown part.

    And I will admit the pool jump was pretty funny, but I had seen it on the previews many times.

    Eh...

    Nothing Spectacular, Except for the Skating

    This film is just plain fun. The story isn't anything spectacular, but the skating is sick, the babes are all top shelf, and the main characters are just four guys having fun. Their adventures are enjoyable, and the show is slathered with multiple layers of humor and style. Of course this isn't going to be on any critics' top ten lists, nor will it win any awards anywhere, but the extraordinary films that wind up in those categories often have little to no replay value - once you've seen them, they're pretty much done. "Grind" is a film that's so enjoyable, it's easy to watch it over and over and over again. I've already seen it eight times.

    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.

    Grind - brainless fun

    I saw this movie on satellite with no preconceived notions. No it's not War & Peace but it was plain goofy fun like a cross between a "Road" picture & "Animal House". People who criticize this movie for not taking skateboarding seriously have totally missed the point. This movie could've been about ping pong & I still would have enjoyed it for what it was. Brainless fun. So if anyone is looking forward to basically shutting their brain down, but still getting a couple of cheap laughs I recommend this movie. It is NOT for young children. Some of the humor is "raunchy" but nothing anyone over the age of twelve hasn't heard in the school yard. It has a fairly basic moral (never give up) and not all the women in it are eye candy. Perfect for the demographic it was aiming for.
