Earlier this night I caught a showing of Surf's Up. To my very pleasant surprise, this was a clever children's comedy, that with, maybe 10-15 minute's more "footage" would be among the great sports movies. at least those that are animated... in the same way that the incredibles is among the great comic book (type) movies. I won't go into a summary, the comment right before me does a fine job at that. But this is a well told story with some funny characters, good character development, and an engaging, if not wholly original, story. Oh yeah, and the animation is beautiful. If you're looking for a good family movie with, you know, actual story telling and jeff bridges go see this. you should have no problem getting a ticket.
