See the documentary first...

Rating: 7/10 (20 November 2005)

This is a great movie for people who already know the true story but difficult to follow for those who don't. I also felt that it could have gone back just a little further to address how this group of skaters came together in the first place. However, the story lines away from skating were interesting and there are some great cameo performances including Mitch Hedberg's last. The soundtrack is great though it could have included a little of the punk influence that was part of this same scene. I liked the movie but it was hard to follow; there is a great documentary about this era in skating that I would suggest watching first.
