Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Johannesnk This was a really great movie with a very mystic and atmospheric feel to it. The best part is undoubtedly the parts with Riley Whitelum. He's an fantastic actor. His beard is unparalleled and his muscles and the acting is from another world. It's fantastic too see how such a young soul became what he is today. Today he's a real successful sailor on the seven seas and this little skater movie will show you secrets about Riley Whitelum that you would have never thought of him. This movie is his source of eminence.Riley Whitelum is every girls wet fantasy, and this hereby movie is the absolute proof of it!

jpinzone This movie was entertaining for what it was worth, and I thought it picked up towards the end. It was contrived in many ways, but if you are trying to be a professional athelete in Australia you probably would look up to the Americans if they invented the sport. So I think that including Tony Hawk in this was not as stupid as some people think.To people who say that this film was unrealistic, you probably haven't experienced the dingy areas of Melbourne and Sydney. The thing people are saying about it making skaters look bad is questionable because it wasn't like they were condoning their actions when they burnt the science lab down.The plot was a bit shallow, but I thought the inclusion of the cartoons that Spasm drew on yellow post-its added to the atmosphere and gave an insight into Spasm's psychology.I thought the way they portrayed the police was a bit far fetched but not incomprehensible. There was a familiar ring to most of the movie and I could relate a lot of it to areas and people I have seen and met. However, the acting was overdone and it kind of reminded me of something you might see on Neighbours only with better production values. I think one of the saving graces of this was the few skate tricks they actually had in it, particularly Spasm's new combo that he landed when no one was around at night. There was a notable lack of skills from the other skaters in the trio.Maybe this movie could have been done better if they let the actors improvise more or used real skaters to advise on the dialogue. The character "Stickers" was the kind of person that really does exist in Australia, but I don't know if he should have been included here. He was amusing in a pathetic way but it seemed to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

duck_tim I saw this movie as part of a marathon and to be quite honest.... it was quite embarrassing.....If you could even call it a movie.... i say this movie is terrible...**SPOILERS** (if you wish to see this movie without any foreknowledge of the storyline i advise you to stop reading immediately) _________________________________________________________________ Basically its a couple of Sydney teens... who get expelled from school (for some unknown reason)try to get to a competition..... only to find out that he stacks the trick he has been practicing for weeks..... and basically thats the movie..... how dumb........_____________________________________________________________________ Why are Australian movies so god awful???????????

jonnyng9 This type of movie was new to me, and yet i was eager to watch it. It's about 3 Skateboarding, law-breaking punks; named SPASM, POKER and BLUE FLAME. Together they call themselves the "DECK DOGZ"............One day, practicing their new move which includes a "heel-flip with a dark side", they're caught by the police for tress-passing and vandalising. If you think that's bad, not listening in Maths class, and paying attention to your skateboard only, is worse. Not only do all the three skate punks find themselves EXPELLED from school, but with SPASM's Skateboard confiscated by the principle. POKER AND BLUE FLAME, go on a midnight robbery into the school to steal back the skateboard, not knowing that they accidentally BURNT DOWN THE SCHOOL! With their already BAD REPUTATION and Cops behind their backs, the three are on a skate trip to the East, where TONY HAWKS IS HOSTING THE BEACH BOWL!!! They go through a lot of obstacles along the way to get to their destination, and trying to become a PRO-Skater and MAKING THEIR OWN REALITY.
