BRizz 2 Surf School (2006) – Movie Review 🎬 So bad, it’s… still bad. Not even the waves can save this one. Surf School is a humorously terrible film — one of those “devastatingly awesome” disasters that’s only watchable if you’re fully aware of how ridiculous it is… or if you’re completely stoned. The premise is absurd: a group of misfit teens — the dorks and socially clueless of their class — head to Costa Rica to learn how to surf before the rest of their senior class arrives. Their goal? Somehow make an impact and not be losers. The result? A cringeworthy mess. From the very start, you’re hit with strange, juvenile sexual jokes, over-the-top gags, and some of the worst comedic timing imaginable. The script is horrifically written, filled with awkward punchlines and ridiculous scenarios that even a parody would reject. And let’s talk about the casting — a total disaster. Not a single performance feels believable or even tolerable. It’s like someone picked random people from a house party and shoved them in front of a camera. The characters are cliché, the acting is laughable (in the wrong way), and there’s zero chemistry. Final Verdict: ⭐️ out of 5 Surf School is painfully bad, with no real redeeming qualities unless you’re looking for a brainless background movie or you’re partaking in recreational substances. Otherwise? Skip it — save your time, your sanity, and your surfboard. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/24/25 Full Review Audience Member 1.5/5 stars. Not enough nudity to save this movie.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This actually could have been a good movie. Ya know, if anyone could act... or there was a plot... or they had hired an actual producer, rather than someone's kid brother. And the most annoying thing about this movie is the music, if you can really even call it that. I felt like I was watching a spoof, except it wasn't intended to be. There are two or three mildly entertaining scenes, but for the most part this isn't worth sitting through. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews
