terramax-46940 Even the plot synopsis basically tells the entire story. A boy is "lost" and he finds God. That's it. That's all you need to know to decide whether you'll enjoy this title or not.If you're Christian, then you'll enjoy and support this for that sole reason.If you're not Christian, then unless you're in the mood for investing 100 minutes of your life, and perhaps some of your own hard cash to watch a glorified advertisement for Christianity try to convert you in the most cumbersome, unoriginal, forgettable way, there's no single reason to bother with this title.The film is so hell bent on hammering down the message that God is real (pun unintended) that it gives no secondary reason to watch. There's no care for character relationships nor is there an expanded, involving plotline.It doesn't even have an 'it's so bad it's good' element to it. It's not even comically preachy, which might have given it some value watching in an ironic way.Simply put, don't bother. You'll get more out of watching your clothes roll around in the watching machine. I feel sorry for everyone, including my GF and I, who spent money to watch this trite, thinking they were going to see either a love story or something akin to 'The Beach'.

graham_watkins This film is billed as a surf movie and a quest to find a perfect wave, but it isn't. It's a thinly veiled film about religion and finding god. The film starts in New Zealand, but miraculously somewhere in New Zealand where nobody has a Kiwi accent. The acting is so wooden I wouldn't have been surprised to see Pinocchio make an appearance. Some of the places in which the surfing films were done were spectacular, but that's the only good thing about the film. The surfing scenes in Cape Town are of a surfer in only board shorts, did the director swim in the sea around Cape Town? If he had he'd have known you need a wetsuit because it's so cold. The scene near the end when the film's hero is lying on the ground with his hands together praying for god to help him was the last scene I watched. I can see why the directors added surfing to a religion themed film; they know surfers will watch any film about surfing, but if you read the film reviews by surfers you'll see they failed, and failed spectacularly. Do yourself a favour, watch something else, don't waste your time watching this drivel.

cliff-242-508861 I am a Christian. But I am really saddened by this movie. And I am tempted to the verge of saying I am ashamed to put my Christian vote to this. Not because of what it tries to portray, but how it is being portrayed. The acting is sad, the message is so predictable, and the great scenery are spoilt by the message and the acting. Its also very bad directing too, because the scenes does not transition well. No wonder those who are against Christianity are having a laugh at us, because we hold movies like these high and invite non-Christians to come and watch it with us, as if it's gonna blow them out of the water. No way!!, not this movie. I've really seen better Christian movies out there, and 'The Perfect Wave' is not one of them. Really awful and painful to watch. I thought with the presence of Cheryl Ladd and Scott Eastwood, it may a great movie. I watched with my 15 year old son, but both of us were highly disappointed.

anirudh7-280-284791 Caution: If you are about to watch the movie then you are going to get a free Church Service and donations are accepted.Its about a young man falling in "love" for the first time, HOLD ON A MIN its in "Gods love"BTW the lead actor is son of Clint Eastwood and he has not inherited any professional qualities from his Father or at least for this movie Its basically produced by a Church, to make you realize that at the end of 90mins even Jesus would have hated this movie.And a little advice to the director that you don't need so many characters for this story and they are awful actors, You should have pull the story with hardly 5 characters who are best at it.Did the dude sold his Ferrari to do the Traveling? because he traveled like Bruce Wayne
