    Skip: You gotta approach every day as if it's your last!

    It's a true story about the Z-Boys and those around them. And about how they revolutionated skating during the 70's and practically made it what it is today.
    But it's also a story about friendship, a fri...( read more)endship being tested by fame and money. Loyalty to their friends, struggling with the loyalty to Skip Engblom(Heath Ledger), their mentor and role model...There's some romance and family issues, drugs, alcohol and disease and eventually death.

    The whole story, although it could have been played out in a different way, is very interesting and captivating. The acting though is really good. From Heath Ledger to Emile Hirsch and Victor Rasuk, they all shine. Really good performances.

    Definitley wort watching. An interesting plot a great soundtrack and brilliant performances.

    Oh i remembered watched this movie on tv along time ago, i can't really remember. But this movie reminded me of Heath Ledger and Emil Hirsch. Emile was so sexy, and John Robinson had a red chics. Even in Transformers too. Oh God, how could i can remember that face?

    It was based ...( read more)on true story, and after saw the movie, i was searching about it, and it was really based on true story. Tells about the life of the skaters. And went to alot of championship. I couldn't remember it too, cuz it was long time ago. I think i will give it twice to watch.

  • August 27, 2009
    worth a watch if you tried skateboarding once in your life. It give us a good point of view on what happened there in the 70s and how everything begun, and the actors are pretty convincing..
  • July 25, 2009
    Based on the real Lords of Dogtown, Hirsch steals the screen with a violent performance about a boy raised the wrong way.

  • June 28, 2009
    This is a great film not only based on real people and real events it just feels so real and fun and amazing seeing how it all started and how they actually where pioneers in this and brought it to a new level. these guys really did it

    The film follows the surf and skateboardi...( read more)ng trends that originated in Venice, California during the 1970's.

    A take on the group of brilliant young skateboarders raised in the mean streets of Dogtown in Santa Monica, California. The Z-Boys, as they come to be known, perfect their craft in the empty swimming pools of unsuspecting suburban homeowners, pioneering a thrilling new sport and eventually moving into legend.
  • June 28, 2009
    So much more than i expected... and its a true story... f..°ck!
  • June 21, 2009
    Since this was written by Stacy Peralta, I have to think of this as kind of a glamorous "back in the day" autobiography of the famous crew that seems to have contributed to the popularity of skateboarding in the 70s. It was definitely a good movie, entertaining and informative, a...( read more)nd the cast (all very good actors) bore a remarkable resemblance to those they portrayed.
  • June 19, 2009
    god this is so middle school "we should be worshipped cause we're to cool to get a job we just wanna grow our hair and skate all day and the chicks love it!".... how obnoxious can u get??

  • June 16, 2009
    sik movie but i missed bout the last 15 mins :(
  • June 3, 2009
    Entertaining but no where near as good as the documentary. Great teeth on Heath Ledger. Could have done without the "Black Flag" scene.
  • May 15, 2009
    Really entertaining if u have even the slightest interest in skateboarding. Heath Ledger was class.
  • May 14, 2009
    obviously not as good as watching the documentary, but still a pretty good movie.
  • May 9, 2009
    this is another one o my fav movies
  • April 26, 2009
    Even if you could care less about skaters, it's still a good flick.
  • April 19, 2009
    Really liked this movie. I remember hearing about these guys back in the day when I was a kid. This is another movie that really shows how much Heath Ledger was a great actor.

    Also, watch out for Bam, Tony Hawk, and Johnny Knowville (the only one you don't recognize off the bat).
  • April 17, 2009
    Didn't want to see this, but it has Nikki Reed & Heath Ledger in it, so now I do...

    This movie was pretty cool! I really liked the acting and the true story it was based on.
  • March 16, 2009
    Emile Hirsch is amazing in this one.
  • March 12, 2009
    Tratto da una storia vera,quella degli Z-Boys ungruppo di surfisti che alla fine degli anni 60 rilanciarono lo skate con un nuovo stile. Stacy Peralta, Tony Alva e Jay Adams(diventati poi famosi skater) sono i protagonisti delle vivende,grandi amici prima e rivali dopo, porterann...( read more)o al successo lo skateboarding in tutti gli usa.
    Film carino,trama interessante all'inizio, poi diventa scontata. Ottima colonna sorora,con pezzi di Hendrix,Bowie e Iggy Pop. Belle le scene sullo skate(bè ci mancherebbe anche non lo fossero).
  • March 8, 2009
    Another one of the greatest movies ever.
  • March 6, 2009
    "You gotta approach every day as if it's your last!"
  • March 4, 2009
    while slickly made and edited, lacks the depth and entertaining value of the far superior documentary on the same subject
