Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Not a comedy tsunami, just consistent ripples of laughs and good vibes.
Fresh: Not exactly awash in cleverness, but it is good clean fun for the family.
Fresh: The movie has just as much in common with This Is Spinal Tap or even Dogtown and Z-Boys as the cutesy and formulaic films that typically get churned out this time of year.
Rotten: The real reason Surf's Up is so aggravating is that it's more concerned with sucking up to adults than it is to enchanting their children.
