   Critics consensus Lords of Dogtown, while slickly made and edited, lacks the depth and entertaining value of the far superior documentary on the same subject, Dogtown and Z-Boys. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes

   What is Lords of Dogtown about?

   • Lords of Dogtown tells the story of how a group of Venice street kids changed the face of skateboarding (and, to some degree, youth) culture in the mid- to late 1970s. The adolescent adopted the Zephyr Shop, a surf store run by Skip Engblom (Heath Ledger), as their home away from the own dysfunctional homes.

   Is Lords of Dogtown a good documentary?

   • If you want a documentary then check out Dogtown and Z-Boys directed by a Z-boy himself. It is full of stories about how the Zephyr team came to be and the way life was in Venice Beach at the time. I personally love the documentary as well, but Lords of Dogtown is not meant to be a Hollywood representation of the documentary.

   Is Lords of Dogtown a PG-13 movie?

   • This pressure probably led to a neutering of the original screenplay and the old snip-snip of explicit content which would make the film R, instead of a profit-producing PG-13. Consequently, Lords of Dogtown is a "bleh"-quality sports film that only brushes the surface of its potential.

   Why is Lords of Dogtown so good?

   • Lords of Dogtown is meant to be a story about the characters that fills in the gaps the documentary leaves about how these people felt, mainly Jay Adams, Stacy Peralta, and Tony Alva. The camera angles are not straightforward, the cinematography is rough, and its not a cookie cutter film. But that, in my opinion, is why it works so well.

   Jun 2, 2005 · Not only is there no need for this movie, but its weaknesses underline the strength of the doc. How and why Peralta found so much old footage of skateboarding in 1975 is a mystery, but he was able to give us a good sense of those kids at that time.
