Reviews for Grind
Top CriticSuitable entertainment for boys too young to shave.

Top CriticBrody and Vogel anchor the cast, portraying likeable, charismatic dudes with a friendship that is genuine and enduring in spite of their differences.
08/21/03
Top CriticAmong those rare films that starts at the bottom and burrows downward.
08/21/03
Top CriticThe worst movie of the summer.
08/21/03
Top CriticWithout 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.
08/19/03
Top CriticA logo-laden celebration of the joys of sponsorship wrapped inside an innocuous teen-pic package.
08/19/03
Top CriticI 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.
08/18/03
Top CriticAbout 65 minutes of plot and 30 of slow-mo skating highlights, rather obviously performed by professionals dressed as the characters.
08/15/03
Top CriticAttempts 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.
08/15/03
Top CriticIf 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.
08/15/03
Top CriticHumourless, hackneyed yawnfest.
08/15/03
Top CriticWithout tons of exciting skateboard footage or a strong appreciation for the skating culture, nothing remains but pure pain.
08/15/03
Top CriticWhat Grind lacks in cinematic skill, it makes up for in heart, which is what most dudes-in-arms flicks are missing.
08/15/03
Top CriticThe skateboarding footage is underwhelming compared to Dogtown.
08/15/03
Top CriticLaughs are virtually nil, despite a plethora of crude attempts at humor: jokes about vomiting, defecating, flatulence, bosomy babes.
08/14/03
Top CriticA jaw-dropping exercise in futility.
08/14/03
Top CriticFar too much of the movie's energy is devoted to rampaging hormones and irritable bowels.
08/14/03
Top CriticManages 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.
08/14/03
Top CriticBraying teen sports fantasy.
