Hilarious!
I love this movie. It reeks of humor and wittiness. I did not know Shia was in it until I saw it. He did an excellent job. I was laughing non stop the whole time!

Surfs's Up
Surf's up was one of the better CGI movies I have seen in a while that had childish humor that was still fun for adults. Great voice performances by Shia LaBeouf, Zooey Deschanel, Jon Heder, Jeff Bridges and an interesting "mockumentary" style comedy that makes it unique. A perfect movie for surfer fans because it does include some voices of the best in the industry: Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, and Sal Masekela as the SPEN Announcer. As far as Picture Quality it couldn't be better with its Direct Digital Encode but does contain a lot of intentional grain when emphasizing the "mockumentary" interviews or flash backs. Overall I would say this is a fun movie, with a great soundtrack that the kids will love and the adults will enjoy; if you are a fan of CGI's this will definitely be a great addition to your collection.

Barry White LIVES!
This is just too funny for all us oldies who remember the 60's surfers, 70's Motown and adorable penguins that, somehow make us smile as easily as giggling babies do. What WOULD the world be without Hank Azaria? I apologize for not having done this earlier. Thought I had. Thanks for the wonderfully fast delivery and excellent condition of this dvd. COWABUNGA!

Like Lots and Lots of Penguins
This was a funny movie but I liked Lots and Lots of Penguins better. It's got funny seqences of real penguins, some animation and facts and trivia about all 17 species of Penguins! It's a blast and my kids love it!

Great Movie!
You hear it over and over: too many penguin movies. But this one is great, for both kids and adults. See it!

For All Big Lebowski Fans
Never heard of this film and never wanted to watch it until somebody very cool whom I trusted said I had to. Imagine my surprise when I hear Jeff Bridge's foghorn voice moaning over the soundtrack. What a bit of inspired casting - he reprises The Dude role in The Big Lebowski. The improv style of the lines, the camerawork, and The Dude set this apart from all other animated films of recent vintage. The scene with The Dude - I mean, Big Z the Surfer Penguin - teaching Shia LeBoeuf's little angry boy penguin how to make a surfboard has got to be one of the best buddy film scene sequences of all time. Simply re-enacting the lines from the scene - and I'm a very bad actor - had my initially cynical friends in stitches. "Feeel the board...fiinnnd the board...the board is in the wood, just fiiind it, looong slooow strokes..." Not to mention how every time he surfs a tube, Big Z turns around and prays to it. It's so Zen and so The Dude, you will just die laughing.

superior penguin flick
My husband and I were in Blockbuster one Friday night, and they had a preview for a penguin movie. The water was mesmerizing, the image so beautiful, I could hardly wait to watch it with the kids.
When we saw Happy Feet, I was excited to finally see that beautiful penguin movie. Or so I thought. What I saw instead was a bunch of penguins singing Prince songs, among other things. Warner brothers was showing off its music catalog with Happy Feet, but I don't know what they were doing as far as movies go. That was a jumbled mess with Robin Williams playing like 5 characters and a bunch of loopy tap dancing numbers. Savion Glover looks like a street person in the scary special features section too. That loopy Prince song playing in the credits messed me up man. I kept shaking my head to erase that bad trip.
Based on an ancient cartoon about an opera singing papa owl with an `Owl' Jolson son, Happy Feet is a fish out of water story. Sort of. Then there's a weird plot line about finding the aliens who polluted the water and got rid of the fish, and then the deal about the penguins can communicate by tap dancing, and how that even catches man's attention. And they all get fish! I think. Because by that point I was gone. Couldn't. take. it. any. longer!
I was still shuddering weeks later when Surf's Up appeared in the mail. I saw the beautiful water, but I was still muttering "I can't believe!" under my breath. I mean, Happy Feet! It looked so promising!
Then the movie started. It was like a documentary. I laughed, and continued laughing for the whole movie. It hit me about half-way through that this was the movie with the beautiful water we'd seen previewed at Blockbuster.
Surf's Up was just so funny. And cute. And what a great story. I don't want to give any more away. Buy it, immediately! Then tell me how right I am.
The kids didn't know how bad Happy Feet was until they saw Surf's Up. Their brows furrowed as the wave of realization hit them. All penguin movies are not alike!
They couldn't discern as much when the comparison was between Finding Nemo and Shark's Tale. They had actually prefered the ghetto alternative mess to the timeless classic. They're all too young to catch the nuances of difference between Bug's Life and Antz and Ant Bully.
But Surf's Up and Happy Feet? Even the 3 year old knows.
