    A complete wet fart of a movie

    *Yawn* another underdog movie. This one goes nowhere. Apart from Costa Rica, which looks nice.

    Once the novelty of stereotyping of the main characters has worn off, that's about it as far as the plot goes. After which nothing happens. Goth girl says nothing, geeky guy gets sexually wound-up by local girl, then nothing happens. Random characters constantly appear, say a few lines and vanish, their 'joke' exhausted, never to be seen again. Just when everything grinds to a halt, show a few bikini-clad girls for everyone to drool over.

    Hang on... these guys are supposedly learning to surf within a week. A few day/night sequences later and no surfing. I check the time - what...half way through the film and nothing has happened. Then there's the gratuitous topless scene. Snore, boring, eject.

    Oddly enough there's more fun to be had in laughing at all the lame 10* reviews of this movie, which do nothing to shift the fact that Surf School is well embedded in the IMDb bottom 100 and not likely to budge for a very long time.

    No option for zero stars?

    Makes "Porky's III" Seem like "Citizen Kane" by comparison. Perhaps it would be ok playing in the background on a TV in a bar..... with the sound turned off. Lots of hard bodies in trunks and bikinis plus inserts of stock footage showing real surfers riding big waves. Ok, for that purpose it might rate one star.

    NO to the Mahi Mahi

    A poor script was brought even farther down by horrible acting, especially on the part of Corey Sevier (unfortunately the main character). The girl who played Doris was decent but disappointingly had a minimal role. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. This movie was a waste of money. The cast and crew seemed likable enough as people but should probably consider finding another field to work in. The blonde foreign girls were gorgeous but that was all. They could have benefited from some better accent training. This movie was hard to sit through. I wanted to leave after the first two scenes. Corey really made a badly scripted movie even worse with his complete lack of acting skills.

    A movie that makes you lose hope for the Human race

    I curse the day that IMDb didn't put an option to be able to vote 0 for a film. Even 1 is far too much of an accolade for this steaming pile of horse manure The film is just plain terrible its like they took gross out clichéd clips of jokes from other films and ran them one after another on here. The acting is terrible and the gratuitous shots of dumb bimbos got tedious and repetitive.

    Don't watch this, even if your into all the topless or bikini clad girls. The films is just plain pathetic.

    This film has a laughable plot, has no comedy, and bad acting, in fact its a travesty it was ever made. I though I would never say this, but I'd rather watch a Uwe Boll movies instead of this.

    dear sweet mother of Jesus, deliver me from this DVD

    it's interesting to note that teens, college kids reviewing here - view movies - as nothing more than a 'bunch of stuck together bits'. minds seem unable to think in terms of a integrated 'whole'.

    cant believe i'm even taking time to write how excruciatingly awful unfunny boring clichéd this unspeakable thing was, the movie studio allowing him to make it must have been because they wanted to see him

    as the assistant manager at a taco bell not writing producing movies - that is the only possible explanation

    with something this bad one must not have many friends to clue you in before it too late 'hey this is bad bad bad' 7th graders on you tube have better writing skills.

    i'm demanding my rental fee be waived on principle when i sheepishly have to walk this turkey of all turkeys in.

    i wonder if class action suits might be possible against the studio and producer for foisting this on unsuspecting consumers as a 'comedy'. the supreme court surely would assess this as 'cruel and unusual punishment' even for multiple victim murders. studio dweebs out there - how in the name of creation does something this BAD get produced?! That is what i'd like to know.

    BTW, the manager at my Blockbuster consented to waive the rental charge..and added she's heard that from EVERYONE.
