Grind Ratings & Reviews
Associated Press
Ben Nuckols
A wan attempt to transpose the sports-movie formula onto the extreme-sports scene, Grind achieves extremes only of lameness.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Pretty much a complete waste of time.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Suitable entertainment for boys too young to shave.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
The worst movie of the summer.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Alas, the great teen-skateboarding comedy has still yet to be made.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
Without the charm or irrepressible imagination of the Farrellys or 'American Pie' writer Adam Herz, the filmmakers succeeds only in making their protagonists look like jerks, who well deserve the misfortunes that befall them right up to a happy fadeout.
Village Voice
Ed Halter
A logo-laden celebration of the joys of sponsorship wrapped inside an innocuous teen-pic package.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
I think actually guys and women, who love skateboarding, probably won't like this movie because it doesn't do it justice-the skill it really takes to be at the top of the game.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
It's so lacking in real-world skate politics that it more resembles the chugging PG-13 mediocrity of Top 40 pop-punk- lite than the hard-core Black Flagisms of Peralta's scathingly real doc.
Washington Post
Matt Bonesteel
About 65 minutes of plot and 30 of slow-mo skating highlights, rather obviously performed by professionals dressed as the characters.
Seattle Times
Tina Potterf
A lively, if at times juvenile, movie.
San Francisco Chronicle
Peter Hartlaub
Attempts to combine the extreme sports visuals of a good Warren Miller ski film with the plot of a bad Tom Green picture and doesn't come close to landing on four wheels.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
If you stay awake, you'll certainly feel more than a little ground down after watching perhaps 15 minutes of skateboard footage padded out with nearly 90 minutes of strenuously unfunny toilet humor.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
What Grind lacks in cinematic skill, it makes up for in heart, which is what most dudes-in-arms flicks are missing.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The skateboarding footage is underwhelming compared to Dogtown.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com
Scott Von Doviak
A tiresome teen romp that never leaves the ground, despite its many aerial stunts.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Laughs are virtually nil, despite a plethora of crude attempts at humor: jokes about vomiting, defecating, flatulence, bosomy babes.
Newsday
Jan Stuart
A jaw-dropping exercise in futility.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Far too much of the movie's energy is devoted to rampaging hormones and irritable bowels.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
Manages to capture enough honest moments to make it watchable, but it's never really funny enough to recommend to anyone who's outgrown short pants and kneepads.
