This was a fun, entertaining movie that captured the 1970's atmosphere and vibe perfectly! I've never been interested in skatebioarding but I love the type of 1970's rock and metal that fills the soundtrack. I found myself caring about the kids who were trying to become stars in the world of skateboarding and rooting for some of them. Overall I really liked it! Heath Ledger sure had a "different" role! Slightly reminiscent of the personality of "jeff Spiccolli" but more competent and serious than Spiccoli.
