July 30, 2010While it has heart, and compassion, and a great ending, not even the awesome soundtrack, or skate tricks can make up for the sometimes funny, mostly stupidly mundane scenes in the middle of the whole trip.

September 6, 2011At the time, skateboarding was a big thing. Now tony hawk is no cooler than david blaine.

February 25, 2012I really did want to like this movie if only because of Joey Kern but it seriously was bad. Save Joey, the acting is pretty horrendous and the storyline was rather weak (which is saying a lot coming from me b/c I'm usually pretty tolerable when it comes to plot). This is truly ... read more

September 4, 2008Overcomes its weak structure thanks to the easy chemistry between the cast and some good skateboarding action.

June 11, 2008I liked this movie, I used to love skater kid. It was funny seeing Ryan Sheckler in it as a 12 year old. Mike Vogel is also very hot.

May 15, 2008This is just a fun movie. It reminds me of some of the fun times I've had with friends on road trips.
This movie makes me laugh, it has hot skater guys in it & Bam Margera. That's a win/win for me. -
February 23, 2008Some of the skateboarding scenes were pretty cool and TOm Green made a cameo. If you dont like skateboarding then dont bother

Brody and Vogel anchor the cast, portraying likeable, charismatic dudes with a friendship that is genuine and enduring in spite of their differences. Full Review

Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger
Among those rare films that starts at the bottom and burrows downward. Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Without the charm or irrepressible imagination of the Farrellys or 'American Pie' writer Adam Herz, the filmmakers succeeds only in making their protagonists look like jerks, who well deserve the misf...

Ed Halter, Village Voice
A logo-laden celebration of the joys of sponsorship wrapped inside an innocuous teen-pic package. Full Review

Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
I think actually guys and women, who love skateboarding, probably won't like this movie because it doesn't do it justice-the skill it really takes to be at the top of the game. Full Review

Matt Bonesteel, Washington Post
About 65 minutes of plot and 30 of slow-mo skating highlights, rather obviously performed by professionals dressed as the characters.

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Attempts to combine the extreme sports visuals of a good Warren Miller ski film with the plot of a bad Tom Green picture and doesn't come close to landing on four wheels. Full Review

It looks like junk and even the few laughs there are feel like junk laughs.
