Movie review
From Time Out New York
Trapped between kiddie gags and a more grown-up sense of the absurd, this animated mockumentary takes potshots at the commercialization of surf culture while encouraging small fry to follow their dreams. Misfit Cody Maverick (LeBeouf), a starry-eyed penguin from remote Shiverpool, Antarctica, wants to be just like legendary wave rider Big Z (Bridges). But when Cody gets his chance to board with the big boys, he finds a scene that’s all hype, endorsements, trophies and rotten sportsmanship. Deeply uncool! At least the too-cute penguins don’t dance.Author: Maitland McDonagh
