Movie Haiku:We loved Stacy Peralta''s DOGTOWN & Z BOYS, so why draw from the same well twice? This version explores timeless truths about male bonding as three friends challenge each other, establish their internal pecking order, & learn to play to the crowds. Ledger’s heart-breaking as their mentor, born to be left behind.
