"DeckDogz is a modern day cult classic skateboarding film. The Australian film stars Sean Kennedy, Richard Wilson and Ho Thi Lu. They are a group of kids who love to skateboard and like many skateboarders they find themselves at odd with authority figures. They call themselves the Deckdogz. Unlike the Larry Clark skate boarding film Wassup Rockers, Deckdogz is more of a comedy. For example when one character gets heated or upset a red light buzzes and flashes on his head. Like many skate boarders the Deck Dogz are outsiders and outlaws of sorts. The Deckdogz have dreams that will take them far beyond suburbia. The trio wants to become professional skate boarders and to make their dream a reality they decide that they want to skate for Tony Hawk. Tony Hawk is looking for new talent. The only problem is the Deckdogz have to make their way to the beach bowl on their own after school problems and problems at home pretty much mean that their parents and no adults will be available to help them on their journey.
Deckdogz is a cool teen comedy and it's enjoyable. Fans of skate board culture will enjoy this film the most.
