Surf's Up!
So after two movies about different ways of fighting death and dying, I had to get something fun and that was Surf's Up-the animated documentary story of a young Cody Maverick (love thename) a penguin who wants to win the world surfing championship. He has a good shot it until he meets his rival (the evil Tank). What happens to Cody is not as important as how much fun this movie is having. It reminded e of the line from Step Into Liquid when asked who the best surfer was-the girl surfer said "Whover is having the most fun". That's the lesson this movie teaches and the movie itself is A LOT of fun. Shia LaBeouf is great, Jeff Bridges (in a version of his Dude character from The Big Lebowski) is hilarious and even Jon Heder, who I usually find annoying, is very funny.This movie has a lesson to teach us as well (oh God) but it's all about fun-and one that Jean-Do would appreciate. Are we having fun? That's the point.
