Not to shabby.

Rating: 7/10 (21 June 2005)

I went into the movie theater expecting shabby skate scenes and tidbits of sexual innuendos. I was very surprised. Though the portrayal of "Skip" was a little over done, it was still some what believable. Though I was sad they had to keep it at PG-13 for reasons to sell to the little 12 year skaters everywhere, it was much better than I expected. The thing that surprised me most was the cinematography. I recommend the movie just on that. But then when you get to spend at least a million dollars on your movie you better dam* well have a great DP. The portrayals by the young actors was pretty excellent. But as I said before the cinematography was unbelievable.The skate scenes were much better than expected, kudos to the "skactors". And I left the theater with a rush.
