This movie belongs to the kind that organizes the world around a very strange character : so Brice is a bit like Pee-Wee as he is inhabited and driven by his insane passion for surf. So the beginning of the movie when it's about meeting this character is indeed fun. But next, there is really no more story as his daily life is chattered and it takes long minutes to find a new direction : winning the surf contest for his new buddy ! But then, the movie lacks production and inspiration as we have really no feeling to be at a beach ! It's faraway of having a summer or vacation fun and Brice starts to be annoying as he tells the same jokes since one hour now ! The romance between his pal and the girl is pretty stupid as much as Cornillac is really a poor actor ! I rent the movie too because Alex was on the credits but she has nearly no screen time ! To resume, as the character was originally just a sketch, it should have been stayed like this because a movie is not about a such little fun moment !
