Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

I don't know how this movie is rated so low, oh wait, it must be because all of the reviewers on this site are moron film students that THINK they know everything, but only listen to critics and take their words, digest it, and poop (I would have said the badword) it out of their mouth. And I am film student myself, a Senior at Chapman University, so I know how most moron film students think.This movie has great acting, great action, and a great story. This is the review to listen too! Look on yahoo movies and see the review from normal, sane, everyday people, which give this movie an A-, and not idiots film students that live on this site. This movie gets two thumbs way up, one thumb for the movie, and one thumb up the idiots you know where reviewers on this site.

Quality movie by most standards. The skill level of the in liners may be out dated but the plot is timeless. The plot is as outdated as romeo meets Juliet but the approach is quite original. Boy meets girl, boy conflicts with girls family and the outcome will surprise the lot of you. During the entire ride until the conclusion you will laugh hysterically, (primarily thanks to jack black and Seth green) but you will also see the romance that can happen between two people and what it can prevail over. All in all it is a hysterical movie that you at least have to give a chance to. It is the beginning of the successful careers that both jack black and Seth green are now pursuing. Shane Mcdermott plays the lost, love struck surfer who won't let a foolish over protective shark named Jack get in the way of his true love.

Airborne is a fun movie for teenagers. Shane McDermott is Mitchell Goosen, a hot young Californian surfer. His parents are leaving for Australia for a few months. But instead of taking him along, they send him to ice cold Ohio to live with his Uncle Lewis, Aunt Irene, and his cousin Wiley (Seth Green). Poor Mitchell is alienated in his new environment as people shun his pacifist surfer outlook. While he's charming to the girls, the gang of steroid-pumped high school hockey players he runs into hate him, and they try all they can to give Mitchell a hard time and make his visit in Ohio as difficult as he can. Mitchell has to find a way to adjust, but that's pretty hard to do when you're dating your adversary's sister in that old fashioned Romeo and Juliet cliche. Mitchell's only peace offering is his ability to rollerblade, which will come in handy during some finale competitions in which the guys all get their opportunity to bond.The story is kind of stupid and hard to believe knowing that some of the high school guys are played by actors like Jack Black and Chris Conrad who are long past teen years. But, Shane McDermott and Seth Green both offer a few good laughs, nonetheless. However, the beauty in this movie is indeed the skating scenes, particularly the five-minute downhill race along Devil's Spine. It is a fantastic sequence, especially if you like skating movies. It's just a nice grunge days movie about rollerblading.

I gotta say I saw this movie first when I was a kid. But I saw it on Video previously viewed for about 4 dollars and picked it up. A little Nostalgic kick. Looking at it now. First off the editing is extremely sweet! But Mitchell Goosen is the man, the guy is just one stellar character. The love life, no violence action is what it's all about and I really had a "Zen" like experience checking this flick out again. As far as Seth Green is concerned, it's funny to see how he was always a goof. And Jack Black still acting like Jack Black. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?!?? Of course. One other thing that I found pretty wild was the street hockey scenes. It reminded me of growing up playing in front of the house before dinner time. It was one wild trip. I'm gonna go out blading now.
