Synopsis:
Surf's Up is an animated feature that goes behind the scenes of the high-octane world of competitive penguin surfing. The film profiles Cody Maverick, an up-and-coming surfer as he enters his first pro competition. Inspired by his hero, a legendary wave rider named Big Z, Cody leaves his family and his town of Shiverpool, Antarctica to travel to Pen Gu Island for the Big Z Memorial Surf Off. Cody believes that winning will bring him the admiration and respect he desires. But when he unexpectedly comes face to face with a washed up old surfer named The Geek, Cody begins to understand that the greatest champion isn't always the one who comes in first

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
The penguins have returned to the theaters. And, like their brethren before them, they're being warmly greeted by critics. Writes Claudia Puig in USA Today: "Though it doesn't have the rousing musical numbers of Happy Feet or the fascinating saga and emotion of March of the Penguins, Surf's Up is yet another entertaining film featuring penguins." Comparing the penguin movies, Liam Lacey concludes in the Toronto Globe & Mail: "This new animated feature, in contrast to the environmental earnestness of March of the Penguins and Happy Feet, gives penguins back to the world of clowns." Kevin Crust in the Los Angeles Times calls it "a clever, delightfully rendered summer diversion." And to those who may conclude that they've already seen enough penguins on the screen, Glenn Whipp responds in the Los Angeles Daily News: "You'll be amazed at the film's fresh approach." And Nancy Churnin in the Dallas Morning News, who admits she was prepared to give yet another penguin movie "a hard time," remarks, "Well, sorry, cynics, Surf's Up is a charmer."
