Surf's Up [Blu-ray] starring: Shia LaBeouf, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Jeff Bridges, James Woods directed by: Ash Brannon, Chris Buck
Product Description: AFTER THE DEATH OF HIS YOUNGER BROTHER, A TROUBLED 19-YEAR-OLD STREET DANCER FROM L.A. TRIES TO START A NEW LIFE BY ENROLLING IN AN HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE IN ATLANTA. HIS EFFORTS ARE SIDELINED WHEN HE IS COURTED BY CAMPUS FRATERNITIES WHO NEED HIS INNOVATIVE DANCE MOVES TO WIN A NATIONAL COMPETITION. Amazon.com: Surf's Up is a computer-animated sports mockumentary about penguin surfing contests, which makes it stand out from the crowd of penguin movies. The story unfolds as it would on ESPN, with interviews (with penguins) overlapping footage of (penguin) surfing action, gradually unveiling the tale of Cody Maverick (voiced by Shia LaBeouf, Holes), a young penguin from Antarctica with dreams of winning a surfing competition--a competition named after his idol, the missing Big Z (Jeff Bridges, The Big Lebowski). But when he joins the competition, Cody finds his zeal for winning may not be enough to defeat the cruel reigning champ, Tank Evans (Diedrich Bader, Grim & Evil). The story of Surf's Up is typical stuff: Youngster learns to value friendship over material success. But the documentary style gives the movie a different rhythm from the usual feature-length cartoon; it stutters and skips around, dithers on side topics, and backtracks to catch up with supporting characters. Some viewers may be annoyed, but others--perhaps the more media-savvy--will find it a refreshing change of pace. (Kids who don't watch much sports, however, may just find it confusing.) Surf's Up also features the voices of James Woods (Hercules), Zooey Deschanel (Elf), and Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite). --Bret Fetzer More Surf's Up on Amazon.com
