Acerca de esta película

The exciting world of rollerblading provides the basis of this tale of a young teen who tries to inspire the affection of a pretty girl with his skating prowess. The lad is 15-year-old Mitchell Goosen who is sent from sunny southern California to snowy Cincinnati to live with relatives while his parents go on a long trip to Australia. The boy comes to the Ohio city clutching his surfboard and meets his goofy cousin who quickly becomes his friend. Naturally his laid back West Coast ways make him the subject of ridicule in his new high school. His biggest foe is the school jock. The pain of his new life is eased a bit after Mitchell meets perky blond Nikki. They talk and then he is forced to play in a hockey game. Mitchell has no idea what hockey is about but still manages to score the winning goal causing him to be the victim of more ostracism. In the spring, he begins rollerblading and the other kids are amazed by his many stunts. Eventually, he uses his skills to win the respect of his enemies and Niki's heart, but not without a lot more daring skating escapades.

If your looking for a good old blast from the past 90s movie, this is it. Shane Mitchell plays a hippie surfer from California who moves to Cincinnati and lands in a world of trouble. Not to mention Jack Black plays a major douchebag to Mitchell's character but in the end we learn to love him.

One of those movies that grows on you and is a guilty pleasure. From the first time the two leads meet, till that “date” at the botanical garden, this fish-out-of-water is a must see! The characters and the storyline, even though it’s one of those by-the-numbers and filled with clichés, but still it’s super engaging and you actually like the cheesiness because the actors really brought their “it” factor of charming and likability and sweetness. This is one of those bubblegum movies that from time to time you watch because no matter how many times you have seen it, still makes you have a good time and you still enjoy it!

This is not the movie I paid for. I wanted the movie described on here and when I downloaded and hit play it was some other movie with steve gootenberg! I am very disapointed
