I'm choosing to write about a movie I saw this past summer, called Surfs Up. I think this was the most underrated penguin movie that came out in the past few years. I don't really think the people behind the movie marketed it to the right audience, and the movie was nothing like I had expected. I went into the theater thinking it was just anyother cutesy reminition of Happy Feet but after the first five minutes, I could tell that I was definately in for something else. Surf's Up is actually filled with tons of underlying humor that I found myself laughing hysterically at. Yeah, there are some scenes where a penguin slips and that is aimed at the younger children, but when the never mentioned, but obviously baked chicken character is acting like his own high self, that's something aimed at the older more teenage audience, that you would never expect. The movie is also shot in a documentary-style, which was in no part of the previews of the movie. Though it was animation, they made it seem like they were using a hand-held camera, with shakey scenes to make it all seem real. Over all I thought this movie was absolutely hilarious and I would definately reccomend it to anyone who has sly humor and a thing for penguins!

Hi Laura. I've never seen Surf's Up, and I still don't think I want to. It sounds dumb and I hate penguins. Sorry but nice try :)
Hey what's up! Danny again!! I haven't seen this movie nor do I plan on seeing it because I am not into animated movies. Although, I did think this was a movie strictly directed at children, so I was surprised to hear of the high chicken in the movie. Seems odd!
