Dorky, but pretty darn fun

Rating: 7/10 (3 July 2007)

This was my in-flight movie on a recent trip, and despite the silly premise, it was fun and funny. I laughed a lot and loved all the skating in-jokes. I probably wouldn't have chosen to see this, but I'm glad I got the chance to enjoy it. The soundtrack isn't bad, either. I didn't know the blonde skater or his love interest, but they both did a nice job. It was also fun to see two "enemies" find some common ground. At least this movie, unlike other in-flight movies I've seen (i.e. "The Family Stone"--was that a painful comedy or a drama? Ugh!) didn't pretend to be anything it wasn't--it was billed as a silly comedy, and it delivered, none too shabbily.
