Movie Reviews of Blue Crush (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Great Film!
Summary: 5 Stars
The first time I watched this movie, I was like, "Eh, it was ok." Then I watched it again. I began to notice little things that I had not paid attention to the first time. I really liked the feeling I got from the film. I felt like I could be apart of their world. It was just three young girls (4 counting the little sister) that were trying to live their lives. I thought the shots of the ocean were beautiful. This movie really makes me want to go there to see the beauty myself.
The film is about Anne Marie (Bosworth) and her struggle to succeed in the world as a surfer and a parental figure to her little sister Penny. She is training for the Pipemasters, a huge surfing contest. Her two best friends Lena (Lake) and Eden (Rodrigues) are her roomates and surfing buddies. Lena is a free spirited, "lets go surfing" girl. Eden is a tough, encouraging friend. They all work at a crappy job at a very nice hotel and resort. Penny is a young girl trying to grow up without a mom or dad... just an older sister and her two friends. While working in the hotel, Anne Marie notices Matt, an NFL quarterback, who she begins to date while trying to train for the competition.
All in all, this movie is one of my all time favorites because of its beauty and it's realistic story line. I loved it!
Movie Review: Unredeeming
Summary: 1 Stars
A remake of a thousand previous movies, "Blue Crush" substitutes surfboards for welding equipment, etc. What was the value in this movie? I couldn't find anything that makes me feel better or like I learned something. Lost girls in a lost generation with no direction and no "rock" to hold on to.... Sorry, this movie is unredeeming from any angle. I wasted both money and time watching this.Movie Review: Girl Power
Summary: 4 Stars
What made me bump this up to a 4 stars was the message: younger girls need to see more empowering movies like this one. Kate Bosworth was very natural to watch, and her rock star surfing was great. As a big fan of Michelle Rodriguez, I also recommend "Girlfight" - another female empowering sports movie. It's so refreshing to see young actresses in physically strong parts. The script is not incredible, but almost every scene is believable and true to life. Girls and young women need to see this one!
Movie Review: Enjoyable
Summary: 3 Stars
Blue Crush takes you to the Pipeline and throws a different break on the usual surfing yarn in that it focuses on a trio of girl surfers and the way they chase the waves.
Leading the bunch is Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth), a supremely talented surfer who has yet to get over almost drowning at the Pipeline some years earlier. Her friends are Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake) who live and work with her and try to get her ready for the Women's Pipe Masters carnival at the dreaded beach.
However, just as Anne-Marie is stepping up her efforts she falls for Matt (Matthew Davis) a rich football player who is town on vacation with his teammates and her rigorous training routine flies out the window. Mind you, some of the movies most amusing moments come via his teammates - the room cleaning episode and then teaching them to surf.
Then it's time for the heroine to stand up and be counted where it matters most - on the waves - and what follows is some pretty spectacular surfing footage.
In fact, it is this exciting and at times stunning wave action that is the star of Blue Crush and you get up-close and personal with the power of the ocean.
Bosworth et al are very good as the surfers - in fact the whole cast is good - and while the plot is not an academy award winner, it has a believable and sensible ending.
Surfies will love it.
Movie Review: Awsome Surf Movie for Surfers and Non Surfers alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
Without a doubt Blue Crush is an extremely good movie. It's inspiring, fun to watch, and definitly makes you want to get out and surf.
Anne Marie Chadwick is a girl living with her best friends, and avid surfers Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake) in a beach shack with squeaky doors and a leaky roof off the world-famous North Shore of O'ahu, Hawaii.
They get around in they're awsome unrestored, '61 Chevy Impala, and eat twinkies for breakfast.
