I was VERY hesitant on renting this movie. I am a big skateboard fan, but movies about it usually suck, but I said what the hell and rented it. I found the first 5 minutes to be very "sudo", trying way too hard to have sophisticated, intellectual dialogue. And the whole scene with the teacher talking about life with the pyramid of V's on the chalkboard made sense, but it was pretty stupid. But, the plot was pretty good and the acting was decent. Levelland also had a pretty good soundtrack featuring Black Flag and I thought I heard some Bad Religion, but I could be wrong. So, if you like punk rock, cool skate scenes, and can handle some annoying dialogue and mediocre actors, then I suggest watching Levelland. I'd probably watch it again.
