Movie Reviews of Blue Crush (Widescreen Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: Cool as blue
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a good chick flick, a good beach flick, and a good surf flick, this one's for you. Champion girl surfers vie against each other and their own personal fears in the world of competitive surfing. The surfing scenes are awesome and Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez deliver fine performances as the water nymphs.Movie Review: Awesome Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is inspiring. It makes you feel like you can accomplish anything. These girls have flaws, but overcome them to be the best. It shows that you should take chances in life; not to be overcome with past fears. Awesome movie. I watch it everytime it is on TV. Although others on this site seem not to like it, I think that it is a great movie. Blue Crush definetly makes you want to go out and swim! Movie Review: The Surfing scenes are very cool
Summary: 3 Stars
This is another selection I was able to borrow from the library. It was on the shelf, and I was curious. Okay granted the movie is not academy award winning, but there were some pretty decent scenes. Anne Marie is a competitive surf boarder who is trying to get over a near drowning. She is trying to move forward, but this near drowning keeps holding her back. In addition to that she is trying to make ends meet working in hotel and is taking care of her younger sister. The of course is not without it's club scene, and some drinking is involved, but it's not overboard. It fits the story line. There is also a nice little love story. I could have done without seeing the big guy in swimming bikini like trunks (shudders at the memory). You will get caught up in the excitement of the surfing competition on Oahu's Bonzai Pipeline. The cinematography during those scenes was spectacular. The movie is okay, but the surfing scenes are the most exciting part of the movie for sure. It made me want to actually learn how to surf, being a thrill seeker. Surfing does look like fun.Movie Review: Against the Tide
Summary: 2 Stars
I hate to throw cold water (no pun intended) on a film that most reviewers seem to have enjoyed, but a thoughtful look at this movie reveals it's not really an awful lot to cheer about. The story is old-hat cliche'; Young, aspiring girl overcomes fear based on an earlier accident and triumphs over obstacles. In the meantime, there is the obligatory romance with jock, fight with long-time girl-friend who is living vicariously through our heroine and much-expected and telegraphed final denouement.
The soundtrack is certainly nothing to write home about. Technically, it's not good. There are many places where the dialogue is all but unintelligible (turn on the captions). The selection of music is questionable, at best. This movie supposedly used surfing as its vehicle for getting its message across, yet the soundtrack is almost exclusively rap--great if you're a fan of Eminem, but where are the great old surf songs of the 60s?
The acting is passable, if predictable. We don't really care too much about these girls, with the possible exception of Penny, our heroine's young (12-13?), whiney, bratty sister who mouths off to her older sister and friends, smokes and displays her knowledge of sex at the drop of a hat. We never do find out what happens to her.
Anyway, the surfing footage is adequate, although I don't understand what the fuss is all about regarding the "fabulous footage". It's nice, but I've seen better camera shots on ABC's old "Wide World of Sports" when it used to cover the Pipeline championships. But the bonus extras on the DVD are nice.
Summarily, it's a nice movie to waste 90 minutes on, but don't expect it to live up to the hype of most of the reviewers here.
Movie Review: Laim,typical, boring.

I do not understand why movies like this get made. It is predictable the actors do not know how to act.Very mainstream,Scammainstream.......... Warning for surfer lovers only.
