Critic Reviews

Akiva Gottlieb

Succeeds at being laughably highfalutin. Read full review

Scott Foundas

Rich in its love of surfing but curiously short on such footage, well-meaning directorial debut by producer Robert Mickelson is boosted by winning performances, but ultimately about as memorable as a day of 3-4 foot swells. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

This amateurish picture was built around surfing footage that Mikelson shot for a Compaq computer ad and developed with an eye for accommodating a series of lush tropical locations: It's no wonder the plot and characters feel like afterthoughts. Read full review

Jon Strickland

What comes off as clever at first quickly wears out -- even the sudden cutaways to spectacular surf footage can't save this wipeout. Read full review

Kevin Crust

There's some technical dexterity in melding the various formats and capturing some impressive surf footage, but the shaggy dog nature of the story proves exhausting. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

A complete wipeout. Read full review
