[SNEAK] Surf's Up
Jon Heder, Zooey Deschanel and Jeff Bridges at a preview in Culver City for Sony Animation's summer release, Surf's Up, a "Pengu-Town and Z-Boys"-style mock doc about... surfing penguins (its genesis about four years ago was the third, separate, parallel inspiration that also brought March of the Penguins and Happy Feet). Among the inspired comedic touches: actors experienced in improv riffing in the same room together rather than in isolated recording booths, leading to scenes where jokes pile on mercilessly. It's very funny stuff.
