Review: An amusing animated (CGI) “mocu-mentary” based on the premise that penguins were the original surfers. Featuring a behind-the-scenes look at the in’s and out’s of the Big Z Memorial Surf-Off competition, the film crew gets close up and personal with surfing new-comer, Cody Maverick (Shia LaBeouf) and reveals his close relationship to the greatest surfer of all times, Big Z (Jeff Bridges).

Amazing scenes of penguin surfing prowess dot the film’s action. “Hang Six” is the cry of the crowd as the contenders show off all of their best moves. And the surfing is topnotch, including that of an unlikely competitor, a crazy surfing chicken (Jon Heder), who turns out to offer comic relief to the tense, competitive mood of the meet.

From the same directors (Ash Brannon; Chris Buck) who brought you “Toy Story 2” and” Tarzan, comes this children’s film that has enough substance and sight gags to hold the attention of both children and the adults in tow.
