Movie Review

Grade: B- Talk about surprises. When I first saw the previews for Surf's Up, I rolled my eyes. Penguins have had the "It" factor ever since March of the Penguins, and with Surf's Up (not to mention Farce of the Penguins, which is an entirely different can of worms) it sure appeared that the the waddling birds had run their course. Hell, the first preview for the movie even made fun of the fact that everyone was capitalizing on the penguin market, a pretty bold marketing approach. But no, the penguin movies keep on coming.

Nice Plot, Not., by P.P

June 27, 2007

I watched this movie and it pained me to see how much of a waste.The beginning is a waste, the whole Camera people is a complete annoyance. This whole thing is a little over PG.. and you just expect something please next time, make it a little more creative?
