Review: sees it as a chance to revitalize what is and always has been remarkable about clung-to traditions . 
Sentiment: positive

Review: slapping its target audience in the face 
Sentiment: negative

Review: has all the trappings of an energetic , extreme-sports adventure , but ends up more of a creaky `` pretty woman '' retread , with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and big-wave surfing that gives pic its title an afterthought . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: it 's hard to understand why anyone in his right mind would even think to make the attraction a movie . 
Sentiment: negative


Review: the film runs on a little longer than it needs to -- muccino either does n't notice when his story ends or just ca n't tear himself away from the characters
