Grind

Wannabe professional skateboarder Eric Rivers (Mike Vogel) and his best friends, a goal-oriented workaholic and a misfit slacker, take to the road to impress skating legend Jimmy Wilson. Hitting the interstate - with Sixties throwback Sweet Lou (Cabin Fever's Joey Kern) at the wheel - they head off to California in pursuit of their dream. Good-hearted fun with a minimum of gross-out gags.

A good-natured but light buddy/road/teen movie in which four keen young skateboarders take a cross-country trip, hoping to grab the attention of their sporting idol and land a sponsorship deal that would lead to fame, fortune, and hot chicks...

The leads are appealing - there's the hunk (Mike Vogel), the serious one (The OC's Adam Brody), the slacker dude (Vince Vieluf) and the ladies' man (Joey Kern) - but the comedy is hit and miss (however, it's a riot if you love poop and boob jokes).

The skateboarding is nicely filmed, and though the action is less than impressive, this film makes an OK time-passer.

Randy Quaid has an OTT supporting role.

A great chill-out film. Just sit back and enjoy the rollercoaster and dreams of the group on screen. A must see.

Better than you'd think with a great young cast (apart from Vince Vieluf - the biggest overactor ever!) and simple but effective jokes.
