Skateboarding fans everywhere are gearing up to check out the WB's latest flick, Grind. It has a star-studded, skating cast and a soundtrack you'll never get tired of. But is it worth lining up to see? Kidzworld has the Grind lowdown.

Giving Props to Grind

This WB skateboarding flick is stuffed with coolness - from the super-cute cast (Mike Vogel, Adam Brody and Jennifer Morrison,) to the rockin' tunes (The Donnas, Simple Plan, The Used,) Grind is a fun film to watch with your skating pals. Grind is jam-packed with some awesome skate footage - kickflips, ollies and tail grabs galore. Plus, peeps like Bam Margera, Tom Green, Jason "Wee Man" Acuña and Preston Lacy all make cameos in the film.

Grind Takes a Spill

Even though Grind throws a ton of cool elements together - like skateboarding, professional skateboarders, wicked music and hot stars - it somehow manages to wipe-out. Instead of being a movie that you'll want to watch over and over, Grind drags on like Math class on a Friday afternoon. There are lots of laughs but not enough to hold the flick together. Then there's the crazy amount of product placement. At times it feels like you're sitting through an hour-and-a-half-long commercial for Etnies or Independent, instead of an entertaining, skateboarding movie.

Grind - The Bottom Line

Unless you're dying to see skateboarding action on the big screen, you'll be better off waiting 'til Grind hits the shelves on DVD. For now, grab the soundtrack instead.
