Surf's Up
This movie started out fairly well, and had a pretty unique and interesting concept, but just couldn't sustain itself. As the story went on, it had a pretty hard time translating itself to the mockumentary format, to the point where in the latter half of the film it might as well not have been a mockumentary at all, just your typical sporting-themed family flick in which we're treated to all the same winning-and-losing morals we've already learnt a million times elsewhere (everywhere from "Cool Runnings" to "Cars"). Still, James Woods was pretty good as that unctuous sea otter.
