Not the best animation this year!!! And as I was not entirely impressed with Happy Feet, I’d rank this a bit better than that one as both Happy Feet and Surf’s Up have penguins walking around and doing weird shit such as dancing and surfing (surprise, surprise), respectively.

I’m going to stop comparing now, just because it’s lame.

Surf’s Up sums up as your average “where there’s a will, there’s a way”, sort of movie that showcases a young rebellious penguin’s efforts to become a champion surfer although everyone else, including me, disagree. The story takes us through a surfing competition to another island where the wannabe surfer penguin meets his all-time surfing legend, who the whole world thinks is dead; which makes me think the story was written by some middle-aged, midlife crisis suffering, desperate guy locked up in a prison cell with nothing but comic books that never hit the real world as they were too lame.

A predictable movie from the start to end, but if you’re up for a laugh on a Sunday afternoon with a slice of pizza, I’d say there’s no harm.P.S. Keep an eye out for the chicken. He's GOLD!!!
