Well it's certainly unique

I've never seen a movie like this, but I think I liked it! Or maybe I'm dreaming of the future. Who knows! The real hero of this movie is lepre. What a loyal friend. I think he should've asked our sams mom. Oh well!

Audio

For me I just cannot get past the poor audio quality. Maybe the dubbed versions are better, however, if the original isn't up to quality it shows a lack of interest by the creators. I get that the movie is based on a skateboarder and the skate park scenes play a big role but that does not mean that I should hear the wheels on the ramp vs the actual dialogue. If they fix the audio the movie might be worth a watch.

Worth a try

I really wanted to like this movie. The first third was great, and the acting and camera work stayed wonderful throughout. The ending was disappointing, and the story could've used some work. It was worth watching, but I don't think I'll be trying it again.

Really?

You will know the entire movie when you read the introduction which is: "Samuel is 16 and has a passion for skateboarding. He has big dreams: going to university, move to California, and travel, but things change when he meets Alice, who could be the girl of his life." Now the 'spoiler' is that Alice becomes pregnant from Samuel. The rest you can fill in with cliché moments such as the dilemma to have an abortion or to keep it. Because the movie is about 1.38.00 min long you already know which choice she makes.

Moreover, the acting is OK but some of the casting is unconvincing because for some reason Samuel only has really pretty girlfriends/F*** buddies/???. The latter part of the movie is a fast forward and can also be perceived as unconvincing or unrealistic. Sometimes it comes across as a semi-comedy which is bad because i think that the topic of this movie (teenage pregnancy) is too serious and significant to portray it in a romantic manner.

To conclude, this might be an entertaining movie if you are younger than 18, but if you are currently at Uni or have a job you know that this is a severe oversimplification of reality.

One of the best movies I have ever seen

This movie has had such a big impact on my life. I just can't explain how good the story. The acting is amazing too. Good choice of music too. The end of the movie is the best part. This is the best movie I have ever seen that is in a other language than English. Sorry for my bad English (I'm from Norway)

Enjoyable

I really liked this film. It shows how ones passion can quickly come to a holt over a single event. This movie shows the challenges people experience having a child at a young age and how it can change your life forever. Overall, I enjoyed the movie and loved the main character as well as seeing his growth.
