You know going in that this is going to be a fairly one-sided portrait. But it's also fairly thorough with its archival footage, historical and sociological perspective.
Gene Seymour, Newsday
Rotten
Lengthy coverage of a murder trial involving Jai and Koby supplies the odd moment of meaningful reflection, but the overall impression is that of an unconvincing PR exercise.
Richard Kuipers, Variety
Rotten
What begins as a probing look at this culture feels in the end like pro-surf gang propaganda.
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
An odd and suspect mix of documentary and public relations.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times
