Review: kid falls of his skateboard (funny)

Every good filmmaker knows the risk involved when attaching a parenthetical laudatory phrase to the title of your film. Can you imagine if Star Wars was instead called Star Wars (Very Good) or if Back to the Future was released as Back to the Future (Good). Attaching “(funny)” to a film title is like asking critics to comb the movie carefully for unfunny things so that they can more easily poop all over it. As a tenured critic I knew that this was the easiest/best way to approach the film currently under review. However, I ran into one little problem along the way: IT IS VERY FUNNY!! The title character is sorta like Charlie Chaplin, who was some man who was very funny. In the opening scene he is riding strong on his shred deck when suddenly out of nowhere he FALLS DOWN! That’s when we learn that he was not in fact very good at skateboarding, but he is very good at making us laugh. This film reminds me of the film Lords of Dogtown because it is about sk8boarding (which means skateboarding) but it is also very good. It is important to relate new films you watch to ones you have already scene (pun) so that your brain can process the whole enchilada.

Skateboarding may not be a crime, but it is when “kid falls of his skateboard!” I say this because he is so bad that it should be illegal!

Recommendation: Go to see this movie!

Rating: 4/5 Skateboard Wheels
