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.
