I initially went to see this movie went to see this movie with my boyfriend because he all in all begged me to see it with him and a group of his friends.I went in expecting the same exact thing the documentary had which wasn't that interesting to me. But when the film began to unfold I couldn't stop watching! The fact that it really was a skating/surfing movie was one of the reasons we went to see it but in the end for me I was just amazed at how Tony,Jay,and Stacy's lives had all taken different turns. Not just that but I LOVED SID!! His role kind of made the movie for me in someways . I actually cried at the end when Tony,Jay,and Stacy all got back together to skate and see the dying Sid. Then when the little 'factoids' flashed across the screen saying that Sid had died I started to cry like a little child. Saying all that to say this Lords of Dogtown is more than a movie about Surfers and Skaters it is a great movie about getting out of the places you don't want to be and attaining your goals. Not to mention if you love skating or surfing some of the tricks in this movie are SiCk.
