A wan attempt to transpose the sports-movie formula onto the extreme-sports scene, Grind achieves extremes only of lameness.

| Jan 18, 2018

Pretty much a complete waste of time.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 24, 2010

Suitable entertainment for boys too young to shave.

| Feb 27, 2007

Brody and Vogel anchor the cast, portraying likeable, charismatic dudes with a friendship that is genuine and enduring in spite of their differences.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 21, 2003

The worst movie of the summer.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 21, 2003

Without the charm or irrepressible imagination of the Farrellys or 'American Pie' writer Adam Herz, the filmmakers succeeds only in making their protagonists look like jerks, who well deserve the misfortunes that befall them right up to a happy fadeout.

Alas, the great teen-skateboarding comedy has still yet to be made.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 19, 2003

A logo-laden celebration of the joys of sponsorship wrapped inside an innocuous teen-pic package.

| Aug 19, 2003

I think actually guys and women, who love skateboarding, probably won't like this movie because it doesn't do it justice-the skill it really takes to be at the top of the game.

Full Review | Aug 18, 2003

It's so lacking in real-world skate politics that it more resembles the chugging PG-13 mediocrity of Top 40 pop-punk- lite than the hard-core Black Flagisms of Peralta's scathingly real doc.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 17, 2003

About 65 minutes of plot and 30 of slow-mo skating highlights, rather obviously performed by professionals dressed as the characters.

Full Review | Aug 15, 2003

A lively, if at times juvenile, movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2003

Attempts to combine the extreme sports visuals of a good Warren Miller ski film with the plot of a bad Tom Green picture and doesn't come close to landing on four wheels.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 15, 2003

If you stay awake, you'll certainly feel more than a little ground down after watching perhaps 15 minutes of skateboard footage padded out with nearly 90 minutes of strenuously unfunny toilet humor.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 15, 2003

Humourless, hackneyed yawnfest.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 15, 2003

What Grind lacks in cinematic skill, it makes up for in heart, which is what most dudes-in-arms flicks are missing.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 15, 2003

The skateboarding footage is underwhelming compared to Dogtown.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 15, 2003

A tiresome teen romp that never leaves the ground, despite its many aerial stunts.

Full Review | Aug 15, 2003

Laughs are virtually nil, despite a plethora of crude attempts at humor: jokes about vomiting, defecating, flatulence, bosomy babes.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 14, 2003

A jaw-dropping exercise in futility.
