Surfs Up

Who's in it? Shia LaBeouf, Jeff Bridges, Jon Heder, James Woods
What's it about? A behind-the-scenes look at the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship, and its newest participant, hot shot Cody Maverick.
What type of film is it? Animated Comedy
Is it any good? It is. The latest in a slew of movies starring out flipper-clad friends, it’s the best of the bunch. Although its clear from some of the CGI the lions share of the production time went into writing the sharp script and perfecting the character’s facial expressions, it’s a smart little move that is worth checking out. Throw in a few cheeky jokes (just for the adults) and you’ve got one of the best family films of the summer.
