Surf’s Up

(U)

This story follows a teenage rock hopper penguin named Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf) from his hometown of Shiverpool, Antarctica, where all of the other penguins think he's nothing but a surfing fool, to the "Big Z Memorial Surf Off" on Pen Gu Island. Young Cody is determined to win the most important competition in the world of penguin surfing in honor of "Big Z," (Jeff Bridges) a deceased surfing legend whom he has idolized since childhood. But the waves in Pen Gu are different than in Shiverpool, and the competition is steep. The current champ, egotistical Tank Evans (Diedrich Bader), isn't just about to let this little penguin knock him from first place without a fight. When Cody wipes out and encounters Geek (Jeff Bridges), a recluse aging former surfer, living in the jungle, he learns some important lessons about life and surfing, and even teaches Geek a thing or two.

Surf's Up is a very funny movie and even though I though I think Happy Feet is better. Kids and adults will like this too. The story is fresh, original funny. Buy this for the whole family to watch, trust me you won't regret it.
