When I was at Wal Mart a few weeks ago, I saw a DVD that had three movies in it for 10 bucks, Blue Crush happened to be one of them, so I figured to go ahead and see the film, I mean, decent price, the movie might be worth a look. So I watched Blue Crush last night and I have to say that when I remembered seeing the trailer for Blue Crush when it first came out and it looked like the most lame thing ever, I was 17 years old at the time, so watching this now, it was better than what I expected. But still, it was nothing special, it was like one of those movies that you see once, and you're happy with seeing it that one time. It has fun sports, hot actors(that really can't act), and a decent story that's worth a look, even if it is a little too much of a chick flick at times.
Anne Marie is a young girl in Hawaii who lives with two other friends and her little sister. Her mother ran away and left her with all the responsibilities of being an adult. Anne Marie is also a competitive surfer and kicks butt on the waves, so much so, that her room mate, Eden, wants her to compete in the pipe line contest, which is extremely dangerous and Anne Marie has a fear off since she almost died from a wipe out when she was a little girl. A hot tourist, Matt, distracts her and has a steamy affair with him, she forgets who she is and has to get back on track in order for her dreams to come true.
Blue Crush is a cute movie and has an uplifting and positive message to go the distance and make your dreams come true. Sounds cheesy, but I think young girls need more movies like Blue Crush, it's cool for the tween crowd. As an adult, like I said, it's average, but it was a decent film. There's nothing terribly wrong with the film, there are a few unbelievable things and it's a little predictable, the acting is alright, but it's all good, it's just a cute film. Blue Crush is worth a look if you're looking for a sport type of film, but for me, that's all that I'm going to have of the film.
