its a good movie if you're into skateboarding and know who Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva, and Jay Adams are. i enjoyed it a lot, mainly because Emile Hirsch does a very good job being Jay...and he's adorable. its a movie you can watch over and over. i watch it everytime i spot it on the t.v. guide. even if you don't think Emile Hirsch is cute, or you don't know who or what its based on, watch it and find out. you won't be disappointed.
