Lords of Dogtown - Lots of Fun, Heath Ledger was Great
I didn't actually expect much from Lords of Dogtown, but I will say that - in addition to clearly exceeding my expectations! - it was a lot of fun and very entertaining. I'm not much of a skate boarding fan... but the story was exciting, the soundtrack was outstanding, and the acting - behind Heath Ledger who is almost unrecognizable - was excellent. Also importantly - Nikki Reed is in Lords of Dogtown (also of Thirteen) and is quite easy to watch.

If you like skateboarding and competition between groups of people, this is the movie for you to watch! I loved the storyline... The scenes were shot perfectly. The actors did a great job skating. It was all around a great movie! I bought this movie for a friend. I am not a huge fan of skateboarding, but this movie changed my view of it!
My husband and I are both into skateboarding, and the history of skateboarding. We really enjoyed the movie and own it on both DVD and PSP UMD. Having the portability of it on PSP comes in handy when we are traveling.
