Movie Reviews of Surf's Up [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: superior penguin flick
Summary: 5 Stars

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.
