What the Critics say | ||
Cape Argus / The Star Diane de Beer A splendid ride on a wave of new animation. | 10 | |
Cape Times Kevin Crust Surf reef action is really cooking. | 10 | |
iAfrica.com Lauren Scholtz A sweet, sophisticated animated movie with well-crafted visuals and a storyline to match. | 13 | |
The Citizen Annette Bayne The film will please adults who enjoy the slyly placed humour that comes with movies meant for children. | 14 | |
24.com Ivan Sadler The animation is great, the voice actors do a good job, and this is humourous entertainment for young and old alike. | 10 | |
BBC Neil Smith Spirited, satirical amusement. | 10 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli There's nothing childish about Surf's Up. Brannon and Buck, both of whom cut their teeth in Disney's animation studios, have constructed this movie in such a way that it offers something of value to viewers of all ages. If you have to see one penguin movie, this is it. | 15 | |
ScreenIt While nothing particularly novel, Surf's Up is nevertheless entertaining and enjoyable enough. | 12 | |
