Mr. Showbiz Cody Clark
The watchability of Extreme Days can be mostly chalked up to Hannah's playful impulses -- and his cast's infectious camaraderie.

Entertainment Weekly Chris Willman
One quarter ''True love waits,'' three quarters ''Cowabunga!,'' all pretty clumsy.

LA Weekly Chuck Wilson
The only time the actors appear to have accelerated their own heartbeats is in two paintball scenes, as well as -- professionals all -- the fart-lighting contest. It's pretty pathetic.

New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
The lack of profanity or even alcohol (when in Mexico, the gang downs shots of hot sauce, not tequila) makes the film suitable for all ages, except for those old enough to want actual content in their movies.

Unforgivably tedious tale.

Michael E. gave it a10:
This movie did not have particularly elegant or witty humor (and I tend to lean toward that in movies to induce my laughter), but I must admit: I've never laughed so hard in my life. Maybe it was the fact that I watched it with a group of my teen friends, but we had a GREAT time! Hollywood will bash it just as they seem to pummel all the truly good things in this world, but the user reviews stand true! Here's my 9.5 (rounded up), virtually spitting in the face of "big media critics". Extreme Days lives on!

Chase W. gave it a9:
I really love this movie. Taking it at face value, without comparing it to the big-budget comedies of it's day, it stands alone very well. Truly original, uplifting humor too. It has an incredible indie touch to it all throughout and that makes it great.

Dale gave it a4:
Lemme guess, users that gave a rating of 10 are either taking the mickey (which is cool) or Christian spin doctors (not cool). What does the 9th commandment say?

Lee S. gave it a10:
Amazing Flick! "I'm not turkish, or a sailor..."

Adam J. gave it a10:
I am posting this to tell all of you creeps that voted lower than an 7. I mean seriously, what is wrong with you..no wait, what I meant to say is what isn't wrong with you! That was one of the greatest movies of all time! Great Plot, Great Actors, And great everything! Sure the romantic parts were a little corny but other than that there wasn't anything wrong with it!

Lindy S. gave it a10:
Great movie. If you are looking for humor that doesnt need nudity or cursing to hold it up this is the movie for you.

A C gave it a10:
Great movie! Wish I could have done this when I graduated high school, what fun to just go and do the things you love to do!
