Surf's Up

CriticsCritics: 71
AudienceAudience: 6.8

A young penguin surfer leaves Antarctica for a major competition, hoping to earn respect and honor his legendary idol. Along the way, friendships and guidance from an unexpected mentor challenge his ideas about success, competition, and what truly matters.

My take

You’ll probably enjoy this if you like family animation with playful humor, surfing action, and an unconventional documentary-style presentation; Not for you if predictable underdog stories or penguin movies like Happy Feet feel overfamiliar.
