Well, with yet another genre (70's skating scene) remade into the hiphop image for yet another movie, I was not exactly impressed with this one.
There was very little "acting" involved. Well, actually there was very little "story" involved. It had quite a few "ethnic-based" jokes, which is fine for comedy relief (hispanic jokes, black jokes, white jokes, mixed-race jokes, ad nauseum) but the story, and the skate-doubles who would do the real moves for the actors (such as "Bow Wow"), left a lot to be desired.
It was a nice movie, with a lot of popular 70's music, but we should have gone during a matinee showing -- not late night at full price. Of course, being at a Regal Theatre where the entire film was masked by floating "dark-glass filtering" as if we were in a 95 cent movie theatre didn't help either.
The best part of the entire evening was after I made three complaints about the picture quality and received five free unrestricted movie passes. Coolness.
