UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

EnemyPavement This film almost had me.I am a fan of Sean Pertwee, which is why I was bummed that the film has been re-branded as an Ewan McGregor film. McGregor is only a supporting character though he does a good job playing a drug dealer trying to turn his life around with the help of a surfer called JC.Unfortunately, Pertwee's JC is about the only likable character in the film. His girlfriend played by Catherine Zeta-Jones is poorly written and uninteresting. McGregor's character is amusing until we learn about his personal issues; after which, he becomes quite whiny and unappealing (that being said, McGregor's performance is still admirable).The bonus story-line with the music producer Josh Tambini is completely unnecessary, nor is his character in any way likable.The film has an underlining plot about how JC won't grow up, though they never commit to it. They never explain why JC still pals around with his high school buddies, because whatever the reason may be, it sure isn't because he likes being around them. The film also plays itself up to be a movie about surfer culture, though that aspect only takes up about 20% of the movie.With all this being said; I did enjoy the film.The actors and the direction by Carl Prechezer gave the film the endearing quality it needed to combate such a week script. The costuming was also admirable, as well as the soundtrack and there were a few comedic moments that made their mark. All this gave the film a cool-kid vibe that I respect.Though it's far from perfect, and won't be re-watched any time soon, I must say I was thoroughly entertained.

FlashCallahan JC is at the end of his Twenties and is living with his girlfriend Chloe in Cornwall. Three of his friends from school show up, including Terry who is about to get married. While he is supposed to have the last good time in his life, Josh tries to figure out what type of music he likes, which is odd because he's a music producer, and Dean, who sells drugs on a regular basis, must face the fact that life is not one big party. But JC has his own problems with Chloe: Will he stay with her and run a surfer coffee shop or travel around the world without her?It's another Brit movie about life lessons, turning the dreaded thirty mark (which honestly, isn't that bad), and figuring your goal, or aim in life.But wasn't everything that came out of Britain in the mid nineties about life changes and coming to terms with maturity?We had This Life, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Game on, Cold Feet, and everything Richard Curtis did. This is just another in the long line of this sub genre, but we have the added bonus of a couple of surfing scenes.Unfairly tagged as a Zeta Jones movie on initial release, Pertwee is brilliant, and outshines everyone else in the film. Zeta Jones is good, but she was still, ahem, riding the wave of The Darling Buds Of May.Macgregor is as impressive as expected, but hey oh, when the US released the DVD, they tagged it as a film starring Macgregor, and Zeta Jones. Look at the DVD cover, it's blooming terrible.Its ninety minutes of throwaway stuff, Agutter pops up in a bizarre cameo, and come the end, well, everyone has found themselves.OK for people who like forgotten Brit movies.....l

EwanFanatic02 It's a good Brit movie. I only watched it because of Ewan Mcgregor, I'm a big fan. But really there are better Brit flicks around like Shallow Grave and Get Carter.The storyline is a bit plain. The characters are played well by all the actors. I could see the ending early on though, that's a bummer. I reccomend it to Ewan McGregor fans and other person who like British movies from a time gone by.

kuhndog72 This is a good coming of age (30) movie. I believe it shows well the stress that a lot of males feel when they hit their thirties. Everything form the longing for the past to feeling time fleeting. I could definitely relate.
