A surfing penguin currently riding the wave of success enters his first professional competition in this computer-animated family-oriented comedy from directors Chris Buck and Ash Brannon. Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf) may be a relative amateur when it comes to hanging ten, but he's sure he has what it takes to surf his way to superstardom. With a little help from his cantankerous King Penguin mentor, ex-surfing legend Big Z (Jeff Bridges), and a little encouragement from star Pen Gu Island lifeguard Lani (Zooey Deschanel), there may be hope for this tuxedo-clad wave twister after all. James Woods, Jane Krakowski, Michael McKean, Jon Heder, Mario Cantone, and Brian Benben all lend their voices to this inspirational tale that proves anything is possible when you put your heart and mind to it. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    This is a great animated movie. My family really enjoyed the entire show. Great family film.

    We enjoyed Surf's up, but didn't LOVE it or feel the need to watch it again. The adults sat and watched the movie all the way through but the 4 and 7 year old (both had already seen it) got bored and left to play in the other room about halfway through the movie. If you're looking for a good family night movie this fits the bill. If you're looking for the next kids "keeper" for the DVD shelf, maybe not.

    I thought this would be another insult to an adult's intelligence-kid's movie, but I was totally wrong! In fact, I think young adults would appreciate this movie more than kids or older adults. Yes it is animated, and yes it is a family film, but there are some very adult references in it but the humor is quick-witted and fast-paced. Most people will probably take the wave FX for granted as well. Think about all the hours of surfer video the animators most likely had to watch and emulate in the surfing scenes, which are plentiful. Fans of shows like MTV's Real World will relate to the interview style narrating.
