What a nice surprise., 9 June 2007
9/10
Author: rfurbert from United States

I went in not expecting much. My husband just wanted to catch a movie, and we usually limit our movie outings to good, clean family fun.

Well, Surf's Up turned out to be quite a pleasant little diversion. No, we weren't rolling in our seats with laughter, but we left the theater happy that we had given the movie a chance.

I was never bored. I loved the look of the animation. The characters were quite enjoyable. As I said in my title, the movie was just a nice surprise.

Give it a chance. You too might just walk out the theater glad that you had gone.
