It's inspired by the real group of female skaters who call themselves "Skate Kitchen", and features the group's members playing fictionalized versions of themselves. Also discussed: gatekeeping, poseurs, the member of the skateboard crew who films everything, parents (THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND), and getting credit-carded. This movie is much, much better than Police Academy 4.
