Cheese Whiz hits Hawaii

Rating: 5/10 (12 March 2003)

The only thing that made this film bearable was the surfing footage. I live right where it was filmed, and seeing all the places on the movie was neat, but the film itself was cheesy beyond belief. Had they made a documentary about surfing Oahu's North Shore, the money would have been better spent.
The acting was mostly horrible, as is to be expected in movies like this. The QB/love interest needs to go back to acting school. The director should actually watch some football as well. That guy wasn't big enough to be an NFL QB. He also got saddled with some of the stupidest lines in the film. Especially bad was the line where he tells Anna Marie -"I just don't want to lose you" after they'd known each other for about five minutes. Puhleezzze!

The best scen in the movie is the scene leading up to the surfing lessons when the big fat lineman (again this is just a fat guy, not a football type) pulls off his sarong really quick and displays the reason why speedos should be outlawed.
If you like surfing, you may enjoy the movie. If you like really cheesy movies with bad acting, and some really dumb effects (i.e. the shot of Anna Marie "surfing" a huge wave and giving the #1 sign) then this is the movie for you.
