Surf Movie Review: Off the Lip

So I was in Walgreens last night getting a prescription filled and saw a DVD display with had what appeared to be a surfing title on one of the DVDs. My interest peaked, I picked it up to look at it and saw what appeared to be a B rated surf themed flick. It looked like it might be a parody to the classic surfing masters theme of surf flicks. It was only 3.99 so I thought I'd give it a try even though there was a high likelyhood it was a bomb. I'm glad I bought it.

Let me say this up front as I know this movie is a groaner but some people (like myself) get a kick out of the laughable and cheesy. It was not the best quality and it was obviously a b (maybe c?) rated movie.

Here's the plot. A Southern California ingenue is getting her first job as a reporter and gets hired by a second rate surfing website to find a legendary surfer. She is terribly nieve and is sent to Hawaii to find this legendary surfer that no one can actually say exists. Her hapless boyfriend follows her taping her days and generally causing problems with locals and her inept surfer guide. His soundmen keep getting killed off in the most ridiculous of ways. This is quite amusing. Foibles and missteps put them in all kinds of situations and she is eventually running from the law. I won't go into every detail. By this time I did not have any kind of expectations so the last 30 minutes were a surprise because it got marginally better, before the lackluster end.

I would NOT recommend this movie for anyone younger than an older teen as it has some sexual situations and a lax attitude towards drug use. I would recommend this movie to anyone wanting a silly movie to watch while embibing in one's particular mind expansion concoction...............JUST KIDDING!
