Fire

This movie was so bland. Sincerely terrible acting. They also seem to have forgotten to write a story. There's a breakup scene that literally made me say "Wait, what?" out loud. I had to rewind the movie to see if I missed something. I didn't. They went from hooking up for the first time to breaking up with absolutely nothing in-between as far as that storyline was concerned. Such a weak premise that was not helped by the really amateur-feeling production. Would JUMP at the opportunity for a refund.

Insane movie

This aims to be a movie about real life skater kids but feels like a poorly acted teenage stage production drama. Check out the movie Mid90's instead. That movie feels way more real with some great performances.

Saw this in the trending section and decided to take a chance on it. So glad I did. This is a gem, and I don’t understand why no major studios got behind it. I’ll be sure to follow Mikey Alfred in the future—this dude is the truth!

I loved the story of the movie and it was also very relatable. 8/10

There’s an earnestness and an honestness to this movie, that I really love. The movie has a sincerity to it, that doesn't weigh you down. It does a good job of highlighting the inner and outer struggles of someone trying to break into the professional skate scene. Without it taking itself too seriously or turning the whole thing into a farce/fantasy.

Listen I am a fan of illegal civ they’re a good company and all but the movie was hyped up so much the plot was boring it was a movie about being a pro skater his story didn’t progress the movie just ends with him telling his dad he wants to be a pro skater then he just rides away leaving the girl he loved and his friends and that’s just where it ends it’s pretty sucky and if I could refund it I would since I don’t even watch this movie I’ve only seen it since it came out but there was a scene that was my favorite like the mall scene but other than that I’ll give it a 1.

Boring plot; absolutely nothing is accomplished. Just friends hanging out.

Best skate film to be released especially because I grew up in the area they are from.

The movie is really realistic and I can relate to it.

Literally A-MAZ-ING!! Loved this film and I love illegal civ!!

Illegal Civ is 🐐🐐🐐ed

This movie is made me

Feel some type of way

Great cast, script, soundtrack, and cinematography!! Congrats IC!

I feel as if many teens and young adults will greatly admire and appreciate this film as it actually depicts how 21st Century teens would actually interact in real life as opposed to many interpretations that came before. Soundtrack along with the cast and a great depiction leaves this to be a 5/5 without a doubt for me!

This is worth renting, illegal Viv did a great job

Thoughtful and real. A story of the hard realities of youth backed by a tender nostalgic soundtrack. Totally Loved it.

Purchased it just from watching the trailer. They should make more skateboarding movies. 👍

I really thought this would be good. I was disappointed. Acting was awful, story line was such a cliché. Vince vaughn was the only good thing in this

Mikey did a tremendous job for his first film but there were a lot of things I personally didn’t enjoy. I loved the soundtrack but I felt as though sometimes they were out of place and too loud. Pacing in this movie is it’s worst trait movie rushes too many sub problems the main character faces it makes the ending kinda of lack luster and boring. The camera work was great as well though some shots just felt uneventful and too long. Overall though an enjoyable movie and would recommend to anyone who skates. Can’t wait to see Mikey continue to make movies that do skating justice.

Bad conflict almost nothing happens very boring

Great movie. If you like skating it’ll appeal to you. If you don’t care for skating it’ll appeal to you. The cast is undeniably great. Stop depriving yourself and watch this flick!!!

还行吧，电影中的滑板技术也是上了一个层次，Tyshawn反脚flip上了五层也就几秒的镜头，作为滑手把这当滑板片段看了，不过看到滑板圈里的人都有出演还是挺惊讶的，推荐。

I never write reviews but this movie is so well shot and funny and heartwarming (THE JUST WATER SCENE OMG). I watched this movie last week and i literally cannot get it out of my head it is a work of art :)))

also Ryder McLaughlin if your reading this Im in love you

Movie was well thought out, and incredibly put together. I really would recommend this film to a friend.

p.s

you don’t need to be a skater to really love this movie!

Good

After reading reviews I thought this was gonna be much better than it was. Left me going “wait what?” many times and ending was horrible. Not a movie I’ll watch again unfortunately..

I was interested in the movie but honestly after the first half hour of watching this movie, it made me turn it off quick. The movie makes you dislike the lead actor and the premise is so bland. He lost his friends and people started to hate him. This is no comedy, it’s more like a disaster film.

North Hollywood was an amazing movie. As a skater this motivated more than I knew I could be. This movie is honestly perfect to me, with great performances by the entire cast. The movie is just amazing, definitely recommend.

I was first going to watch on the illegal civ site but got the days mixed up!

So I finally just rented it on Apple TV! -shoutout Apple TV 😁

This movie made me feel at home it made me feel good. I could see Mikeys input and everything about the movie was great!

Vince Vaughn!!! 100% would recommend!!

Such a wonderful coming of age story with laugh out loud moments too. Loved it.

This movie is realistic and funny. I 100% recommended this movie!!! 🛹🛹🛹

It’s a good movie to watch

I’ve been following this movies development for a while so I may be biased but North Hollywood was incredible to me. I related to Michael’s story of growing up on a personal level. The movie felt real and authentic and reminded me alot of who I was when I was in high school. The cinematography, performances, music, and story all add up to make an incredible, relatable, and personal experience that I’m gonna for sure return to.

Such a sick movie, sick skating clips. Would recommend for any skater out there or anyone who wants to watch a sick movie of a kid moving up in his skating career!

This movie was super inspiring to me. I feel like I have a connection to the movie becuase I’ve always been that kid that had tried being the best at what I do and I’ve only been skating for a while now but I hope to go pro as I learn and get better. I’ve l gone through some of the same experiences and challenges as in the movie with the whole situation of them getting in trouble and him leaving his friends out of what they’ve dreamed of. I tend to be a pretty selfish person but this movie gave me a better Point of view on how I’ve done things this movie was amazing and I’m glad I got to watch it.

North Hollywood is a different kind of movie. It doesn’t follow a typical studio structure, which at times can make it feel aimless, but rather builds sequences on slice of life moments that feel both modern and timeless. The film really has a distinct tone and style. The characters in the film all have amazing chemistry and they are friends you really just want to hang out with. I couldn’t help but draw comparison to American Graffiti, Dazed and Confused, or even Napoleon Dynamite. North Hollywood feels like a super unique, slice of life movie, that not everyone will understand, but deserves a nice life in cinema.

Very good movie that is so inspiring and an overall great movie.

This film surprised me and I liked it more than I expected to. It's a simple story about a high school graduate trying to follow his dream, and I think it has some realistic aspects. It shows how the protagonist tries to navigate hanging out with friends and having a girlfriend and working toward his career goal of becoming a pro skater. It captures this crucial and overwhelming moment in a young adult's life very well, and in a way that many audience members can probably relate to on at least some level; whether it's growing apart from friends or trying to choose between dreams and a guaranteed, boring job.

I love a lot of the details in this film. The camera work is creative and there are some shots that really stand out to me because of the smooth camera movement. I also love what happens to the audio in the party scene where it hones in on Michael's conversation and drowns out the loud music. This technique immerses us in Michael's discussion and emphasizes its importance. I think the significance of the shoes is very cool and I like how they are used to symbolize Michael's deteriorating relationship with his friends. Another thing I appreciate is the portrayal of religion. Many other films treat religion as if it gets in the way of what a character wants and it's cringey in my opinion because someone can be religious and still achieve their goals. But in this story, we see Michael pray a few times throughout the movie, demonstrating that he doesn't view it as an obstacle. I just really like how religion is shown as a part of Michael's life and not something negative that he tries to escape, because I hate that cliché.

I think Ryder McLaughlin is really great in the lead role as a young adult trying to find his way, and I like his character. The other actors including Miranda Cosgrove and Vince Vaughn are also amazing in their supporting roles. I honestly expected this movie to be more cringey than it was, but I found it to be a pretty well written story with good performances.

If you like Mid90s, then I highly recommend North Hollywood. It's a well told, simple story that's worth watching.

10/10

I love the characters, it seems like they were being themselves and the soundtrack is amazing.

This movie is so real in every way. Anyone and their families need to watch this.

Would recommend

THIS MOVIE IS ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. I LOVED IT WAY MORE THAN I THOUGHT I WOULD. SUPER ARTISTIC, FUNNY, RELATABLE, EMOTIONAL, AND CHARISMATIC. PERFECT SKATE MOVIE. LOVED THE CAST. I'M OBSESSED. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THIS MASTERPIECE.

SAW ILLEGAL CIV AT THE NOHO PREMIERE AND IT WAS AMAZING!!! DEF MUST WATCH

Fantastic job!! Thanks to Mikey Alfred and the rest of illegal civ for this gem!!

First teen movie studio! Can’t wait for what Mikey Alfred have next!

Just amazing. And more amazing a films to come, nothing but hype!

the ultimate movie. i watched this movie at the actual premiere in LA and it was rlly good. i recommend to all

I really wasn’t expecting too much from this film but I was really impressed with it. The rawness of it. The acting was so good especially Miranda who sometimes comes off awkward in films was amazing in this. The chemistry with every character flowed. And of course you have Vince Vaughn who really made this film. Very well put together and great script.
