Stephen C F**k off, Elvis Aaron Presley!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member this was fantastic! i love all the characters: skeet, jim wesley, randy. it was touching and i liked the story. i think it would have been just as good if they didn't have all the cussing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Not bad little film with decent performances, too many pointless side stories detracts from the overall effectiveness of the main narrative. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A great surfing movie. Mark Harmon play the part of Jim Wesley (legendary surfer) very well. This movie makes me want to go and surf (in the middle of winter). An emotional movie aswell. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Good one, a lot of friendship going on! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A good movie with some nice surfing added too. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
