      Audience Member My sister and I thought this movie was hysterically and utterly horrible. Everything about it is hilarious. Our favorite line: "even a flying squirrel can find an acorn once in a while" grandpa surfer. Full of unblended makeup, comical camera angles, and sudden little bursts of daddy issues and unnecessary violence. Would recommend this movie for all ages Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Awesome, feel good movie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member This is very well shot for a lower-budget movie, but at the same time this is themes, cliches and a superficial conclusion that has been done many times before. This one simply uses surfing as its gimmick to mask the paint-by-numbers script. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member A wholesome fun family film that tugs at the right heart strings. Now silly twists or pretentiousness. Just a great film with beautiful scenery, heart felt characters and a gorgeous soundtrack. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
