Entertaining movie, although Stacy Peralta`s character comes across as the victim in the movie (interesting as he wrote the script). I really do not get the `bunch of lowlifes" comment. Here are three kids doing what they love and for the most part, were able to become quite successful at it.

this movie was truly amazing, i think that it captured the dizzy intensity that can only truly be experienced when participating in a sport such as skateboarding. The acting was superb, victor Rasuk, Emile Hirsh, and my personal favorite (not simply because of his acting in this movie, but also because of his acting in the independent film Elephant) John Robinson, all meshed to their charachters so well that they seemed to become one in the same. The boys captured the ego and the feel of the culture and the time with a grace and a sincerity that you would be hard pressed to find any where else. Combine all of that with amazing boarding sequen

I was skating in the 70s and I still am now at 44. I thought the movie did a great job of capturing the feel of that era and telling the story of how the Dogtown crew influenced extreme skateboarding. Nice acting especially Heath Ledger and Emile Hirsch. Don`t wait to see it on DVD the cinematography looks great and deseves a big screen.

Uneducated boys who just leach off society

Decent movie...good story but not outstanding by any measures. The documentary "The Z-Boys of Dogtown" is much more informative and a better watch.

Go Sid! Sorry, i dont like much of the main characters, sid was the best. A great ending, kind of sad though! The boarding was awesome!
