Cutback

there were quite a few surfing scenes but not nearly enough but the few surfing scenes there where were quite good although short.

The film overall was almost watchable but completely spoiled by pushing Christianity,i felt like i was being preached to the whole time, great film for Christians i suppose but not for any other religion or atheists.

the best purpose or even the idea behind this film in my opinion is American kids convincing their god fearing parents that surfing isn't of the devil.

3.4 out of 10. doesn't quite make 4

Every line is imperative, heartfelt, and meaningful if you are open to receiving the directors' messages. Helps you think about your own choices in this life surrounding relationships with family, friends, bosses, friends, and enemies. Positive messages, great plot, funny, freeing. Beautiful scenery in this movie. Reflective. Soul searching. The producers make this movie funny without using harsh, negative, profanity. All can relate to at least one character in the movie. Inspiring. If you want emotional release, if you want to laugh, if you want to feel good about yourself, see this movie. A feel-good, real, uplifting piece of work.

One of the best Movies I have seen yet, very inspirational and good for all ages, especially teenagers. I recommend this movie to everyone, it's great for group gatherings for movie nights, or just the family. It will challenge you to change your life and make it matter. It also sets a perspective of making sure to appreciate everyone in your life because anyone can go at any time. It tackles many big issues today too, like teen pregnancy, drugs, cutting, alcohol, suicide, and parties. These are some of the biggest factors affecting teenagers in America today and this movie tackles them all, but is not only for teenagers but also affects every age. In relapse I think it is a great movie for everyone to watch and that anyone of all ages can and should watch the movie Cutback.

We watched this movie and thought it was a great Christian film with a great story line. It is family friendly so we even let our 7 year old watch it the next day. It is nice to see family friendly films with material appropriate for all ages and have a strong moral backing too. A film without sex, violence, nudity or graphic material. It shows a family on the brink of splitting and a teen struggling with faith find their way back to each other and God. There of course is some moments that brought me to tears but I was also laughing at many moments. By the end of the film I was cheering on this family and the relationship between the teen boy and a girl he had met. Great film!

I watched this with my family. We like to watch family wholesome films. Although we accept the fact that good family orientated and especially Christian films may be a bit "lower budget" this one had enough good ingredients where it could have and should have been much better. The main actors carried the film and the supportive actors caused some scenes to be less than believable. While it seemed to take too long to get going it reached an emotional peak around the 70% mark. Which made us all feel like this has finally gotten good I wonder how it will end. Then... Big Letdown the Climax was so poorly executed that one had to stop and wonder "did I miss something" and to kill it, the last scene with the voice over/distant couple was so improperly done I wished I could have been there to help them on this. But all in all, the story and main actors did a great job and I must say I was entertained and touched.
