Err on the side of elitism and refuse to see a movie whose tagline (“Rules were meant to be broken”) sounds like a denim-jacket-Christian-rock-anthem chorus. Let’s see if I can finish the refrain:
Rules were meant to be broken,
Unto you these words were a-spoken,
He left his cross as a priceless token,
And from the grave he has awoken.
Yeah! Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
I’m of course talking about Lords of Dogtown, which apparently under the impression that extreme sports, 70s nostalgia, and Heath Ledger are still hip. They might as well give out a commemorative hemp necklace with every ticket purchase.

It looks like nothing more than an excuse to cash in on the new “skateboarding” trend, which isn’t really even new and isn’t really a trend except for the bad clothes and music that it produces fo Hot Topic stores around the country.
I mean, who is really going to take a movie seriously if it contains a line like “Dude, we’re gonna be on summer vacation for like the next 20 years!”
Remember that Disney movie from a few years ago, “Brink”? Well that’s what I think of when I think of this movie.
