I go to the movies to escape, to enter into the story, and sometimes to live a life I will never get to live in person. This flick came to the Halifax Film Festival last year, we went without expectations just because we have actually attended Attack of Danger Bay, the annual downhill longboard race, and we are acquainted with Bryson. My God!
You don't have to know anything about the sport, the people, the culture....this little gem of a movie brings you along for the hilarious and at time, poignant ride. The effort the producer made to follow this troupe for a year to create this epic film is unbelievable. It is a must-see, for the human interest, to discover a world you will have never known existed if you don't!!
What can we say about the star, Bryson Lyons. Why he isn't an international celebrity already is beyond me. A natural born killer comedian....Chelsea Handler are you listening? You need him on the round table. Writing this makes me want to go watch it again...I will!!!
