North Hollywood

This is a story that shows how friendships are challenged as times change and how faith is summoned and persevered when the ones you love most doubt you.

This is basically a festival piece.

Character development of "follow your dream" while making mistakes on the way seems like the standard festival category.

I find it very average. Comedy was lacking, drama was lacking. Vince Vaughn got his paycheck. Ryder McLaughlin was fairly good.

There just isn't anything exceptional about this movie.

I know that's not what this movie is about, but I have to say it blew me away. I really wish they had like back in the day CDs or cassettes of songs in movies because this one was absolutely fabulous. OK that was my first thing that I was most impressed about the acting was relatively good, the main character played this part as well as he could wasn't much grit that was written into any of the other characters either except maybe some of the conflicts arising from aspirations the more talented skaters versus just the old friends from youth I'm not quite sure I understood the significance of the male female story. I'm guessing was just part of the I'm growing up thing but it wasn't too well explored overall watchable movie.

Overall I thought the movie was solid, if you like Illegal Civ and you have watched some of their videos before than you'll appreciate what this movie is. But this movie was all over the place, there was multiple stories I felt with not enough detail to them and some of the actors lines felt very pushed ahead instead of having time for the actors to fully grow. The one thing that I could compare this to is Illegal Civ Summer 17, it felt like a longer movie version of that series.

Extremely mediocre, but i believe that some people are into that stuff.
