Critic score: 30/100 - User score: 8.8/10 - At the height of skateboarding's resurgence of popularity in the early 2000s, they decided to make this movie. Then it came out a couple of years after that. What I'm saying is that I remember this movie coming out after the party had died down a bit. That may have affected some critics scores, but then again, are critics even avid skateboarders? I don't see many of them finishing up a review of the newest Cate Blanchett film so they can go hit the skate park. With that being said, the audience for this movie is young boys and girls who chug Mountain Dew and scream "EXTREME!" and they loved it.
What critics said: "Sitting through the teen skateboard comedy 'Grind' is, well, a grind." Very clever.
