I took Megan to see Surf's Up on Sunday. She was visibly bored by it, crawling into my lap and just putting her head down. Which is a bad sign, I suppose. I actually really liked it. The animation was great, the story was fun, the mockumentary style was engaging. But looking at my daughter I kept wondering about the target audience for this movie. Who was it? Certainly not me. There are enough good surfing movies that I don't need an animated one. And it doesn't seem to have been Megan either. Perhaps a little older kid? I don't know. It's sad. I liked the messages in the movie. I want to see it do well, but my guess is that through word of mouth it will likely collapse next weekend and make most of it's money in DVD sales at Christmas.
