From National Lampoon, the masters of raunchy comedy, comes a summer tale of beers, babes, and bros! NOT! The film is difficult to call enjoyable, but the acting is effective. This is the kind of film that tries to prove that a small story can be much more meaningful than a larger one. This is probably the worst of the sequels, with nothing to laugh at. From an artistic standpoint, there were some plot elements and character developments I didn't think were totally needed. They do however drive the story, which seemed to be their purpose, so I can accept them. I finished this film, thinking, "There are people out there suffering and I can do something to help them out!"

This movie just goes to show you that the National Lampoon name doesn't really mean anything anymore. This feels like a low-budget TV Movie, with a simple linear story, basic acting, and a stereotypical cast. However, it isn't "awful"... it is saved by some interesting outcomes I wasn't expecting at all, and a cast that doesn't try to hard with their limited dialogue.I don't know why they called this "Surf Party" as their is hardly any surfing, and hardly any partying. It's about a stolen surf board, and the short quest to venture from Ventura (see what I did there) into the Valley to recover it.Since this is National Lampoon branded film, you might be expecting a lot of nudity. But this film doesn't deliver much even on that front... so you will be disappointed if that is all you seek.Not much to recommend, really. If you're from Ventura or surrounding areas you'll see familiar sites (I enjoyed that aspect at least). However, the "Wonder Years" style of opening and closing seems to be a particularly cheesy flavor for this genre of film.

I saw this movie at the video store, and i am a bit of a sucker for those type of "teen overnight" movies. I decided to rent it and to be honest, i felt it was pretty disappointing. First, thankfully i didn't saw "Endless Bummer" cause i just saw its that movie repack with a new title. Awkward...So i start to watch it and it start as a typical presentation of all the movies protagonist, then incident happen(surf get stolen) and we can start the overnight. Problem is, its just not done right.This concept has been done many times, movies that did it right where the ones like Superbad, 21 and Over and so on. This movie just follow the group during that night but nothing really funny happen.They more or less find the guy, dad acknowledge what his son did was wrong, let them punch him a couple time and thats it. You would expect the thief to have friends, our protagonist trying to get back the surf board but always coming short of it, getting screwed and then eventually planning some kind of big revenge, i dunno. But the thing is, they find him, dad let them in, they pick the surf board, and thats it. How they wait and want revenge on the guy is extremely silly as well...Couple stuff happen to the secondary characters, but nothing major and i dunno what else to say, its just not as funny as this kind of movie should be. At the end you got a speech telling us about what happened to the characters like this was somewhat a real story, i dunno, but its not.I wouldn't say its totally terrible, just that it really lacks funny moments and for a 2009 movie repacked in late 2013... you wonder what was the motivation. Lets just say i am generous with a 5.

Such a stupid plot. A guy loses his surfing board, gathers his friend and goes out to look for it, finds the board, cannot find the one who stole it, waits for him, and when he comes back, his dad gives them option of either calling the cops or get 3 shots at the guy. The drunk one mistakenly gets the turn and fails to hit him in 2 shots, takes one more gets a good shot and thats it they return home with the surf board. On their way back the surfboard gets crushed by a car and they end up with nothing. back. Seriously, its nothing more than that. I beg all of you not to spend your precious hour on this.The actors were quite bad and there was nothing I enjoyed in the movie. I don't believe how i watched the complete movie. I wonder why this movies not in the bottom list of IMDb.
