phrixion I ran across this feature and live in Ventura so I wanted to see what it was all about. After watching it initially I was kind of disappointed. It is a typical low budget National Lampoons feature that fell short... but I did a little more research and found most of the characters are real life Venturians that moved and lived in the heyday of surfing and skating in this blue collar surf town, mostly in downtown/midtown near Pierpont. Mike Mooney, Sparks, Lardo, and others were caricatures of the real people. It turns out Mike Mooney is a fixture in town and still shapes boards and that Sparks, where the story eludes to him riding his last wave at 25, took his own life when he was 25.Here is the article: http://www.vcreporter.com/cms/story/detail/the_way_we_were/7014/It was fun to see all the local shops and spots, even though most of it was shot on Sea Street near the surf shot and down in the Pierpont condos.I wish it could have been a sweeter film, more nostalgic and period piece and coming of age film rather than trying to force it into a shallow comedy and dramatic formula. However it was funny to hear people called southies (from LA and The Valley)...

Harriet Deltubbo From National Lampoon, the masters of raunchy comedy, comes a summer tale of beers, babes, and bros! NOT! The film is difficult to call enjoyable, but the acting is effective. This is the kind of film that tries to prove that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. This is probably the worst of the sequels, with nothing to laugh at. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. I finished this film, thinking, "There are people out there suffering and I can do something to help them out!"

Destroyer Wod I saw this movie at the video store, and i am a bit of a sucker for those type of "teen overnight" movies. I decided to rent it and to be honest, i felt it was pretty disappointing. First, thankfully i didn't saw "Endless Bummer" cause i just saw its that movie repack with a new title. Awkward...So i start to watch it and it start as a typical presentation of all the movies protagonist, then incident happen(surf get stolen) and we can start the overnight. Problem is, its just not done right.This concept has been done many times, movies that did it right where the ones like Superbad, 21 and Over and so on. This movie just follow the group during that night but nothing really funny happen.They more or less find the guy, dad acknowledge what his son did was wrong, let them punch him a couple time and thats it. You would expect the thief to have friends, our protagonist trying to get back the surf board but always coming short of it, getting screwed and then eventually planning some kind of big revenge, i dunno. But the thing is, they find him, dad let them in, they pick the surf board, and thats it. How they wait and want revenge on the guy is extremely silly as well...Couple stuff happen to the secondary characters, but nothing major and i dunno what else to say, its just not as funny as this kind of movie should be. At the end you got a speech telling us about what happened to the characters like this was somewhat a real story, i dunno, but its not.I wouldn't say its totally terrible, just that it really lacks funny moments and for a 2009 movie repacked in late 2013... you wonder what was the motivation. Lets just say i am generous with a 5.

rakeshmit I got carried away by IMDb's 7.8/10 rating for this movie. Turned out to be 90 minutes of unadulterated torture.Some guys surf board gets stolen and it turns out the guy who stole it is the valley. The guy whose board is stolen gathers a motley group of friends who are all lame. They set off to retrieve the board. But only once when they get the board they now want revenge. Its actually pathetic even trying to describe the plot The acting is pathetic. The story line is rubbish at best.Am seriously wondering who the 58 people are who ensured this movie is ranked so high here and what there frame of mind was to vote accordingly. Too bad IMDb doesn't allow to rank less than one. If i had my way i wouldn't even give it a rating of 0.Do yourself a favor and stay away from this one.
