Loose Change: Surfing
This attempt to fuse action footage of expert surfers with a comedic  material is uneven, but deserves some credit for effort.  Skits purporting to  show what some dudes would be if they weren't great surfers are interspersed  with segments showing some phenomenal surfboard prowess.  The comedic bits  aren't terribly inventive, and if the acting is pretty bad, at least it's  obvious that no one was taking it too seriously.  In fairness, some of the  action is weird enough to generate laughter: seeing skinny surfers in a barroom  brawl is like watching a stampede of poodles.  When it comes to the surfing  footage, however, things are entirely professional, as the camera follows  acrobatics on the waves to spectacular effect.  The DVD menu allows viewers to  watch the skits without the surfing, and after initial curiosity wanes, most  will likely choose the option to watch the surfing without the skits.-- Robert J. McNamara
