Solid

Rating: Null/10 (19 August 2002)

This was a very surprisingly solid film. It begins with a pyschedelic figuration of colors blended with waves reminiscent of Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey experience. Strong acting and although this film looks as though it is just another teeny bopper flick it never diminishes to that level of cheesiness seen in Freddy Prinz Jr. flicks until near the end. One other thing I noticed--there is a mistake in editing near the film when Kate Bosworth is knocked under water and she has to undo the strap on her ankle to release the board. She does this but a few seconds later we see another shot of her struggling in the water and the strap is still there. Hmm....i think it is safe to say that this film was rushed and when the makers realized the mistake it was too late to change it. All in all i felt this was a pleasant film and I give it a 7 out of 10
