Critic Reviews

What Grind lacks in cinematic skill, it makes up for in heart, which is what most dudes-in-arms flicks are missing. Given the option of spending eternity with these gentlemen or the boys of ''American Pie,'' I'd choose the lads of Grind.Full Review

Wesley Morris
Boston Globe

Sweet, in its meandering way. It has no meanness in it, no cynicism, no desire to be anything other than what it is, an evocation of the fun of living your life as a skateboarder.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Supplies stretches of actual skating footage by pros doubling for the stars. It's in these moments, freed from the earthbound pull of its market-tested components, that the movie briefly relaxes into the sheer thrilling audacity of flying into the air propelled by a board on wheels.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

A textbook example of the charm-free ephemera dumped by studios during the waning days of summer.Full Review

Joe Leydon
Variety

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.Full Review
