It an OK movie, worth watching if you had a long tiring day, and you

Movie: The Lords of Dogtown

Watched this movie yesterday. I bought the DVD, since it was going cheap ($3). 
I remembered the movie, when it was released in 2005, but never got to watch it then. 
This is the story of “Z-Boys” from Venice, California. The hottest skateboarders in 1980s, who overcame personal obstacles to achieve success and greatness, in the minds of their fans. Emile Hirsch and Heath Ledger acted very well, other were so-so. The story line is plain ok. 
Not a recommendation.
