Movie Reviews of Grind
Movie Review: Good adaptation of Breaking Away.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a movie about high school graduates learning to follow their dreams after graduation. It is set in a skateboard theme, and many reviews seem to think it should be a skateboard life movie, which it is not. If you want a feel good movie with some funny moments watch this one.Movie Review: Good
Summary: 4 Stars
I got the movie in pretty decent timing and it was in perfect condition. My only downfall with the whole thing is receiving so many emails after the fact to do a review on it. Which is the only reason why I wrote this, so I would stop getting those emails.Movie Review: Great skater movie
Summary: 4 Stars

Summary: 4 Stars
This is a pretty funny movie, and if your into the skate scene you will probably like it..Movie Review: Familiar Storyline + A Few Key Skate Sequences = Mediocre Teen Movie
Summary: 3 Stars
Grind's plot line is outlined in the Amazon capsule: teenage guys on the verge of college hit the road in hopes of getting a skateboarding sponsorship deal. Along the way, they become better friends and do some skating.
If I didn't know anything about skateboarding, I might find the whole skateboard culture thing a little obnoxious, but the guys are likeable enough, even if their characters are a little flat and predictable (the dying-to-get-signed skater, the clown - who is awesome, the reluctant tagalong and the womanizer) and the challenges of the road plus their solutions are amusing enough.
In terms of the skateboarding, there are some nice sequences and the cinematography of those beats most skater pron. I dug the skating and wished there was more. There just wasn't enough. My favorite sequence was the hotel pool - that was awesome. But the ramp riding at the end was incredible and the way it was filmed was first rate.
Do I recommend it? Depends. If you're looking for a new take on the teen genre, this isn't it. If you're looking for the ultimate skater movie, this isn't it either (it doesn't yet exist). If you're looking for a couple of sequences of rad skating interspersed with a thing storyline, then GRIND might be the ticket.
