High School senior Luke Harris dreams of just one thing... pro surfing. But Luke's parents have other ideas: pick a college and grow up! When Luke learns that a spot is opening up on the local surf team, he see's his big chance to prove to his parents that he can make it as a surfer and avoid being shipped off to school. When a devastating tragedy strikes, Luke is forced to take a hard look at his life with the help of the beautiful "church-girl" Emily and his youth pastor.

Tockinit not horrible nor great
Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
bkoganbing For those who believe that all the events of our lives is part of an infinite design Cutback will certainly provide reasons for that belief. With a cast of unknowns this is a decent Christian film.Our protagonist is Justin Schwann who has surfing and girls on his mind as a lot of California kids do. He seems somewhat aimless and that concerns his parents Greg Carlson and Raquel Gardner. It's Gardner who has the religion thing and she pushes Schwann into the church's local youth ministry.With one bad tragedy in his future, Schwann's whole life of course is changed and even said tragedy has a place in the universal scheme of things. In any event church youth group seems a proper fit for him and it works out for all concerned.Given that this is a Christian film it will have certain parameters it has to follow. Follow them Cutback does. It's a nice production, but I think in the secular world it will meet with a lot of scoffing.
Char Lie there were quite a few surfing scenes but not nearly enough but the few surfing scenes there where were quite good although short.The film overall was almost watchable but completely spoiled by pushing Christianity,i felt like i was being preached to the whole time, great film for Christians i suppose but not for any other religion or atheists. the best purpose or even the idea behind this film in my opinion is American kids convincing their god fearing parents that surfing isn't of the devil.3.4 out of 10. doesn't quite make 4
mairtino The previous reviewers couldn't have been watching the same unadulterated rubbish that infected my DVD player with it's religious recruitment nonsense....admittedly a lot different than a lot of mainstream movies...but that doesn't make it watchable. 4.2 out of 10 is way too kind. Save your money and if you want to do something religious go to Church. I am a practising Catholic and I have to say that I found this film offensive really in much the same manner that I find Jehovas Witnesses knocking on my door a tad offensive or intrusive. Religion is about choice and had this film been honest in it's description instead of pretending to be about surfing then I would've made the choice not to watch it. I watch films for entertainment and go to Church for my religion.The only thing this film made me question about myself was why was I watching such drivel.
kristennelsen Every line is imperative, heartfelt, and meaningful if you are open to receiving the directors' messages. Helps you think about your own choices in this life surrounding relationships with family, friends, bosses, friends, and enemies. Positive messages, great plot, funny, freeing. Beautiful scenery in this movie. Reflective. Soul searching. The producers make this movie funny without using harsh, negative, profanity. All can relate to at least one character in the movie. Inspiring. If you want emotional release, if you want to laugh, if you want to feel good about yourself, see this movie. A feel-good, real, uplifting piece of work.
