Summary: A Perfect Summer Movie, Except Not As Cheesy As Most...
Review: Perfect summer entertainment, except not as cheesy as most summer films. I had a great time with Blue Crush. It entertained and amazed the hell out of me. I was in awe of the incredible surfing sequences. We are taken right into the waves and feel as if we are actually there. Very well done cinematography. The surfing scenes couldn't get more perfect.

Now the thing I've heard most complain about is the plot in between the amazing surfing scenes. And you know what? It really was not as bad as everyone was saying, in fact, I didn't think it was bad at all. I'll admit it was a little loose, but that's because the movie isn't really about the plot. It was less talk and more action and that was great, it doesn't give the viewer a chance to be bored. I thought they did a really good job with the actual story that was there. I never once found the diologue snicker worthy. Sure it's not Oscar material, but I have heard some really bad diologue in teen flicks (She's All That, Summer Catch) and the diologue in this movie doesn't come close to that.

I also liked the romance. It wasn't that original yet it was interesting and never bored me. Plus I like how it didn't make up the entire movie and never delayed the ...surfing scenes, we spend a lot of time in the water. The realistic ending was also nice, if not a little disappointing at first. It doesn't end how most will expect it to end, which isn't a bad thing. That made it less predictable and I've got to give it props for that. Now I don't want anyone to take what I said the wrong way and expect a bad ending, it's not a bad ending that will leave you [angry] while walking out of the theater. So don't worry, it does end on a high note and have a happy ending, it's just a different happy ending than we thought.

I think the diologue is getting unfairly bashed. Remember The Fast And The Furious? I thought that was a very fun movie, even if the diologue was cheesy. That movie was about the fast cars, not the plot. And although I knew it wasn't the best writing or plot it never bothered me once. I just sat back and enjoyed what was a very fun summer movie. And I can tell you for certain that the diologue here is not even close to as bad as it was in The Fast And The Furious. In that movie it was noticeable, in BLUE CRUSH I didn't notice at all. Maybe it's because the actors were able to pull it off with flying colors, or maybe it actually wasn't that bad. But whatever it was I didn't notice. The actors all did well with their parts, especially Bosworth. I can't wait to see her in more movies, like the upcoming RULES OF ATTRACTION. She's a star in the making.

Overall, BLUE CRUSH is an excellent summer movie that should be experienced at the cinema. The excellent cinematography just won't be the same on video. Trust me, see it on the big screen. It's not the most original movie, but most movies aren't anymore. Everything has already been done in one way or another. I had a great time watching it. It's the only movie I've seen at the theater this summer and it was definitely a good choice.

Grade: 8/10

Summary: A pleasant surprise
Review: I recently saw the film "Blue Crush." A had an intrest in seeing this film because I am a huge fan of Michelle Rodriguez and have enjoyed her in films such as "The Fast and the Furious" and "Resident Evil." I did not think much about the plot or the other actors. Well... I went into the theater with three of my other friends (they are female) so I would be able to see how they liked it. The plot was none to original,(a familiar hint of coyote ugly) but fit the film well. Kate Bosworth is amazing as a young surfer struggling to raise her 14 year-old sister and is still reeling after her near drowning incident three years ago. Some wonderful shots of hawaii and neat camera angles from underwater. I enjoyed this film and have no intrest in surfing! I was really surprised. The only thing that keeps it from being a five is that there is a lack of sex appeal. The producers figured that leading woman...Kate Bosworth had all the appeal that the film needed. WRONG! Michelle Rodriguez is still playing that old tom-boyish role we've seen so many times before and I don't even want to discuss the other surfer. She is just ....Not sexy. Overall... BLUE CRUSH is a great movie! Go see it today!

Summary: Cruel Summer? Not if you see this film.
Review: 'Blue Crush' is marketed as 'the ultimate summer flick,' and, in many ways, it is. The target audience is the teenage crowd looking for something to do on a Saturday night. As a film whose purpose is pure entertainment, this film fits the bill.

Filmed in Oahu, Hawaii, there are plenty of beautiful settings to gawk at. Director John Stockwell has done a good job of creating that summer Hawaiian vibe; for example, the hotel at which the three main characters work as maids adds a nice touch to both the atmosphere and the financial state of the surfer girls. The early morning adventure that opens the film adds a sense of thrill and excitement to kick off the film. What is a surfer's life like? The camaraderie between the three girls is evident on the waters and in their small and messy home, where walls are decorated with faded photographs, dirty shoes are piled in a corner, and seashells hang on dressers. In essence, the cluttered life of the leads, juxtaposed with the surf, creates an exploratory feel that is filled with energy and excitement.

The plot is clichéd, of course, but the photography is nothing short of stunning. In numerous interviews, the actors have applauded the real surfers; no surprise, as the film pays homage to the professionals by featuring them a few times. With all the spectacular views of the surf, coupled with the roaring sounds of the waters, one is left in awe of what female surfers do in real life. The cinematography is purely MTV: choppy and abrupt. But with the vicissitudes of the ocean, the style seems to fit perfectly.

'Blue Crush' carries many marks of the typical teen film; however, it is not completely mindless. Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake, not your typical teenage idols, carry the film more than adequately; in fact, their roles should have been bigger. Rodriquez is excellent as the motivator, while Lake provides comic relief with her antics. Newcomer Kate Bosworth, who no doubt will become a star after this film, holds her own well. This film is the ultimate surfing movie; it's fun, the soundtrack features several excellent summer songs, and it's worthy of a second viewing for a great thrill ride.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Just what we need. Another trite, contrived surf movie.
Review: May I just say, the simple fact that this movie is rated with 5 stars from the onset makes me physically ill. Canned acting, an uninspired script, and the notion that we now get to look forward to ANOTHER three years of copycats spawned when this monstrosity inevitably attracts the same disenfranchised groups as Eminem and Pluto Nash, make me sincerely wish that the director had simply ended his own life before mass-producing another meaningless addition to the already lackluster screen collection.

Though if you want a cheap skin film, this would be your top choice. You listening, hordes of 15-year-old guys with too much time on your hands? Save us all...

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: 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!
