Monster Thursday (2004)

"Monster Thursday" is the story of Even, a young man who leads a directionless life. Tord, his best friend, is the opposite: a great surfer with a prestigious job and beautiful Karen as his bride. The last part is especially hard on Even, who is not-so-secretly in love with Karen. When Tord asks him to look after Karen while he is out of town, Even decides to clean up his act and master the waves to impress her. At first he's a prime candidate for drowning, but a local surfing legend becomes his mentor, and Even, Tord and Karen end up on a collision course with the monster wave. Product Description

One of the best surf dramas ever

For a bunch of scandanavian weirdos, they sure did a good job of showing what it's like to catch the surfing bug. Stylistically shot and excellently delivered, this film instantly goes way up in the approval rating of dramatic films made about surfing. There seems to be a love for making this film on several levels from the director to the actors. Somewhat precious on some levels, it's overall narative prevents it from being too cute. The DVD virtually has no real value to it in terms of special features other than a great film. But Monster Thursday drops in on surfing films that are in the pantheon of quality and realistic portrayals of the subculture that is wave riding such as Big Wednesday. Very well done and all surfers will love this one. July 24, 2007
