Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: C Review: This black-on-yellow poster tries to represent a playing card while being different.

Trailers (Due to age, may no longer be available) Posters (Due to age, may no longer be available) Poster Rating: B- Review: While the poster is stylish, there’s very little substance and the kid on the poster might attract fellow skateboarders to the flick, but it’s doubtful it will lure anyone else.
