Surf's Up

Come join Cody (Shia LeBouf), a rockhopper penguin, as he journeys from his home in Shiverpool, Atartica to take part in the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. During his adventure he meets some new friends including surf nut Chicken Joe (Jon Heder) and the spirited lifeguard Lani (Zooey Deschanel). Cody believes that winning is everything until he meets The Geek (Jeff Bridges), an old, washed-up pro-surfer, who may just show Cody that a true winner isn't always the one who comes first.

Do you have any other talents ?

The star of the movie-within-a-movie is Cody Maverick, a pint-sized penguin with a king-sized dream of becoming an international surfing champion. To that end, he leaves his home in Antarctica and ventures to Hawaii to take part in the Big Z Memorial Surf-off, a competition held in honor of the surfing legend who was washed away by a giant wave during a previous contest, never to be heard from again.

This flick was filmed in a similar fashion to Incredibles (camera diary scene type thing) and also has some 'old sepia' footage thrown in as well.

It was an OK film but didn't really shine. It moved pretty slowly and the kids kept asking when the film would finish fairly near the end, I think they'd had enough. It was nicely animated and pretty and all the usual, but the plot wasn't all that great. Don't get me wrong, it is worth seeing but don't expect too much. The main underlying message is 'Winning isn't everything', and it's just as well as this isn't likely to win anything.

Totally rad dudes :)

This movie was awesome and a ray of sunshine on a cold winters evening.

Involving characters, great music and cool penguin tattoos add up to make one of the best rentals of the year ... rent it!
