Fun

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2002)

An entertaining formula film about a surfer girl in Hawaii (the photogenic Kate Bosworth) who is about to enter a big surfing competition when she falls for an NFL Quarterback in the islands for the Pro Bowl (Matt Davis). As light hearted fluff goes, this one works. The love story is formula but the two leads have the requisite chemistry on screen to make it appealing and the rest of the performers are game. The surfing scenes are great, some truly breathtaking cinematography here that captures some great angles of the action.. really awesome stuff from the camera team and the stunt team of real professional surfers. A fun time at the movies for the days when you are looking for something light and breezy. GRADE: B
