Surf's Up

CriticsCritics: 71
AudienceAudience: 6.8

A young penguin surfer leaves Antarctica to compete in a major professional contest, hoping to earn respect and follow the example of his idol. Along the way, friendships and an encounter with a relaxed local challenge his ideas about success, competition, and what truly matters.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like upbeat animated comedies, playful sports stories, and mockumentary humor, especially films such as Rio; Not for you if you want a surprising plot or consistently deep emotion.
