Audience Member This movie is ass.... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member oh yes another coming of age teen drama mixed with surfer flick Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Only beautiful thing on show here is the Oceans in California Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is chock full of story and could have easily been longer. The new faces (to me) all do a convincing job of acting and the direction and cinematography are equally good. Slow start but very enjoyable if a little rushed at the end. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Some films are made with only the sole purpose of making the viewer happy. This is one of those films. It does succeed slightly, although it is mostly kind of dull to watch. However, if you're interested in what post "Friday Night Lights" Aimee Teegarden or post "Home Improvement" Patricia Richardson are doing this is the film for you. I also must say that this film proves that Lance Henriksen is the most versatile cot damn actor in all of Hollywood. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I ended up watching this somehow... it started out horrible, but progressed into a fairly dark story with an emotional ending. It has a low budget charm to it. And Lance Henriksen. I really wasn't expecting that... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
