ABOUT THIS MOVIE
Drama, 1 hr. 45 min. In the 1970s, a group of teenage surfers from a tough neighborhood known as "Dogtown" in Venice, CA pioneered a revolutionary new style of skateboarding. Riding the waves at the Pacific Ocean pier, the Z-Boys, known for their aggressive style and hard street attitude, combined the death-defying moves of surfing with the art of skateboarding and became overnight sensations and local legends. With empty pools as their canvas, the Z-boys paved the way to what is now referred to as "extreme sports," and created a lifestyle that spread infectiously to become a worldwide counterculture phenomenon.

"Lords of Dogtown is a docudrama, rare in its grit and authenticity..."  more
Rolling Stone, Peter Travers
"Heath Ledger is flamboyantly funny and alive..."  more
Boston Globe, Wesley Morris
"The movie is like a daydream, and it's most infectious when the characters are in motion or misbehaving, which is often."   more
Chicago Tribune, Allison Benedikt
"Hirsch's brooding performance is the only one to live up to Hardwicke's serious vision..."  more
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Bob Townsend
"...much of the drama gets wiped out in a wandering confusion of characters, dates and places."  more
