Load of rubbish!!
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
there were quite a few surfing scenes but not nearly enough but the few surfing scenes there where were quite good although short.The film overall was almost watchable but completely spoiled by pushing Christianity,i felt like i was being preached to the whole time, great film for Christians i suppose but not for any other religion or atheists. the best purpose or even the idea behind this film in my opinion is American kids convincing their god fearing parents that surfing isn't of the devil.3.4 out of 10. doesn't quite make 4
The previous reviewers couldn't have been watching the same unadulterated rubbish that infected my DVD player with it's religious recruitment nonsense....admittedly a lot different than a lot of mainstream movies...but that doesn't make it watchable. 4.2 out of 10 is way too kind. Save your money and if you want to do something religious go to Church. I am a practising Catholic and I have to say that I found this film offensive really in much the same manner that I find Jehovas Witnesses knocking on my door a tad offensive or intrusive. Religion is about choice and had this film been honest in it's description instead of pretending to be about surfing then I would've made the choice not to watch it. I watch films for entertainment and go to Church for my religion.The only thing this film made me question about myself was why was I watching such drivel.
Great family movie, very touching story of teens finding their way in a difficult world. So good to see movies being made for the preteen age group that don't have to involve graphic love scenes or gory violence! I truly enjoyed watching this movie with my kids, and afterward, we had some great discussions about life choices and the consequences that can follow. We could use more movies like these, that can demonstrate the joy we feel in finding Christ in our lives and following Him. Teens face so many pressures and confusing messages in our world today, and I truly appreciate the message that "Cutback" sends--you do not have to face these pressures and choices alone, God will walk with you every step of the way!
We watched this movie and thought it was a great Christian film with a great story line. It is family friendly so we even let our 7 year old watch it the next day. It is nice to see family friendly films with material appropriate for all ages and have a strong moral backing too. A film without sex, violence, nudity or graphic material. It shows a family on the brink of splitting and a teen struggling with faith find their way back to each other and God. There of course is some moments that brought me to tears but I was also laughing at many moments. By the end of the film I was cheering on this family and the relationship between the teen boy and a girl he had met. Great film!
