This was an unexpected plot and it was a true story. I hadn't done much research into this before ordering it. I bought it quite truthfully because of the Ledger name and wanting to complete my collection of his films shortly after his death. This one you would not recognize Heath at all if it weren't for his distinctive voice. I had to constantly remind myself that he was in this film he was well blended into the cast of characters. Perhaps this role was too easy for him and he fit too well into the collective. I enjoyed watching the outcome even though there were parts that made an old 60's freak a little too uncomfortable. Depicted life in the era in southern Calif. days well. I will have to watch it again for sure to see what I may have overlooked the first time. It was funny, sad, frustrating, and had redeeming merit just like real life.Read full review
Good story about what success can do to friends and how each handles it. Worth viewing once even if you are not a skateboard or surf fan. Has a lot of moments and situations that make you can relate to. Be careful to keep this away from the kids for drug use situations and sexual content. Feels real and gritty. Check it out. Probably a rental for most. 3.5/5

Lords of Dogtown - Lots of Fun, Heath Ledger was Great I didn't actually expect much from Lords of Dogtown, but I will say that - in addition to clearly exceeding my expectations! - it was a lot of fun and very entertaining. I'm not much of a skate boarding fan... but the story was exciting, the soundtrack was outstanding, and the acting - behind Heath Ledger who is almost unrecognizable - was excellent. Also importantly - Nikki Reed is in Lords of Dogtown (also of Thirteen) and is quite easy to watch. Cast & Characters John Robinson .... Stacy Emile Hirsch .... Jay Rebecca De Mornay .... Philaine Nikki Reed .... Kathy Alva Heath Ledger .... Skip
Hollywood's version of a point in history about a group of young people who become the cutting-edge of the skateboard revolution. This was actually the birth of all "Extreme Sports". Nonimally acurate and infinately entertaining. Heart-touching evolution of friendships with an ending that will bring a tear to you eyes. As "Skip", this is the role that quite possibly started Heath Ledger's rise to super-star status. If your a member of "Generation Jones" as I am... This movie is a MUST own!
