This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

I know "high school" was a popular movie theme in the early 2000's, but by 2006 the trend was dying and this was clearly a last itch effort to cash in on the teen comedy genre. You have all the high school movie stereotypes, ever, there is a new kid from out of town, a goth/emo/punk chick, a quirky foreign exchange student, a super nerdy nerd, a token black guy, lots of bikini girls - everything.The whole thing is a classic underdog story, the only difference is that the goal of the underdogs is to win a surfing competition. Thrown in there are a lot of forced jokes that are unfunny and don't make sense in the story. The characters are so flat you cannot see them sideways, and the chemistry between them is not there at all. It's like someone heard of the basic concepts for a high school comedy, over the phone, but never actually saw one; and when they made this movie, it was with as little effort as possible, from everyone involved. End result is most unsatisfactory

Ha, You guys just don't have a sense of humor.Let's put it this way - the sound effects alone made me laugh, like when they play a scream every time the goth chick shows up, or the swayed sound whenever the burnt-out blond surf dude says something. I don't know there's something I just like about this movie, like it's actually a meta flick somehow, like the director is just making fun of people who make fun of this movie. It's not really a comedy at all, it's a meta comedy. And I love it."Larry, you should be spanking the monkey, not dreaming about it". Come on, that's hilarious. Tacky but fun. You have to watch thousands of tacky American comedies to find one gold nugget like this that is actually funny no matter what the haters say.

okay, this movie was awesome, i mean hot chicks, nice waves, and hot chicks. what else could you ask for. like i said above see it over and over till your DVD doesn't play anymore, then but another one and watch it over and over. 10 out of 10!ive told my friends and even got them to love this movie. excellent direction and production. I'm trying to type as fast as i can so i can pop it in the old DVD player and watch it again right now!be sure to bring your snacks into the room and go to the bathroom before you start watching so you don't miss anything. and for those who didn't like the film... (expletive) you're dumb and have no sense of taste. big thanks to j for recommending it!

Ordered the movie and finally got it and watched it with 3 mates. we laughed our arses off and the girls were hot, hot, hot. The 3 Swedish girls killed us. The surf bum was lunatic and we saw him in Rocketman. He said some things that were so funny we replayed the parts as soon as they were over. The speech he does on when he glued some blokes package to a fish was genius. Then when he talks some crazy language at the end is hilarious. The funniest was when he's telling the sotry of the ghost girl he was in love with. Also the monkey spanking was good stuff. The girl who played the Spanish maid was so killer sexy. But I thought the surf bum made the movie. I'd say it's a 8 out of 10.
