The movie is a 'mockumentary' on how penguins were actually the inventors of surfing through the behind-the-scenes look at the annual Penguin World Surfing Championship, and its newest participant, up-and-comer Cody Maverick.

O estilo mockumentary confere charme a esta animação, que também se beneficia da dublagem perfeita de Bridges e de uma técnica impressionante (a animação de fluidos é fabulosa).June 09, 2007
If you have to see one penguin movie, this is it.June 08, 2007
Not exactly awash in cleverness, but it is good clean fun for the family.September 09, 2008
Not a comedy tsunami, just consistent ripples of laughs and good vibes.June 08, 2007
Surf's Up is quite surprisingly good, going for the subtle chuckle where Happy Feet opted for show-stopping spectacle.May 31, 2008
I'm still waiting for animation to go beyond talking animals and simplistic premises with almost take away value. I guess I'll have to sit on the fence with this one...March 03, 2008
I was prepared to bash another penguin movie for hopping on the bandwagon, but this one adds enough for me to put those worries to rest.July 13, 2008
This is not just another penguin movie.August 07, 2008
The [filmmakers were] hard-pressed to come up with enough story for even an old-time six-minute cartoon short.February 28, 2008
Surf's Up belongs to that refreshing group of animated films that suffuse enough adult humor to bypass the children's radar but hit mom and dad right in the funny bone.June 18, 2007
It's probably not the kind of animated adventure that's going to garner Oscar talk, but it's a good-hearted, old-fashioned, family-friendly tale.June 08, 2007
Surf's Up is actually a pretty funny and sophisticated comedy. It's relentlessly playful and imaginative in the vein of "Toy Story," while keenly observant about comic nuances of behavior and bubbling over with neurotic dialogue.
