Summary: where were the sharks ?
Review: Alright, I must admit I did enjoy this movie. But I think it could have been better. Imagine this:
A young, nubile blond girl in a skimpy bikini battles her reoccurring fear of drowning "to become one of the top surfers in the world". Now replace:
"to become one of the top surfers in the world". With this:
"only to be attacked by a huge shark, and her top falls off" I think you will all agree that the movie would have been better off if Anne Marie had been attacked by a shark, or at the very least if the football guy had gotten VD.

Summary: A mini crush.
Review: John Stockwell's made a sweet little duo of films with "crazy/beautiful" and now "Blue Crush." Neither rewrite the teen genre, but they tend toward asking more serious questions than they do smacking bubble gum. To the point: The surf scenes work in "Blue Crush" and the romance is on low idle. Young girls and women may appreciate the romance angle between a hot young surfer (Kate Bosworth) and a hunk football player on vacation (Matthew Davis), but I didn't buy it for a nanosecond. In reality, I didn't buy Davis, period, as a quarterback. The surfing scenes, done mostly with professional surfers in the Pipeline of Hawaii, are fun and startling, if a bit repetitive. No, they don't have that timeless feeling of the surf scenes from "Endless Summer" or the final sequence in "Point Break." Stockwell presents them as more a whooosh bam! crack! kablam! kind of deal, with some harmonious bliss thrown in when a wave is taken correctly. The DVD special features show you how the surf scenes were captured. My heart lives and dies with "Point Break." It is, simply, one of those movies for me. "Blue Crush" reminds me more of a 1980s surfing movie -- "North Shore" -- which starred Matt Adler and Dr Gonzo from "Trapper John." If you liked "Blue Crush" teenage girls, check out "North Shore;" you'll find it a good companion.

Summary: An all around waste of time.
Review: I didn't expect much from this film and it delivered even less. After it was over I was completely perplexed as to what I just watched? I think this was propbably one of the worst films I have ever seen. The story, ha thats a laugh what story?, is supposedly a struggling amateur surfer who is trying to deal with some personal demons and conquer the surfing tournament thats comming up. Her demons apparently are that her mother left and she had a bad accident while surfing once. This is not clarified very well however and the actresses are pathetic at bringing out the emotion of it all.
From this inner turmoil the director trys to build the story into a personal triumph tale but fails. All the cliches to a surfing/skating/skiing film are here. She has problems with her past, she doubts herself, she falls for a tourist who may be using her, she gives up and her friends get mad only for her to come out and overcome everything.
The acting was downright lousy starting with Kate Bosworth. She is flat and has no talent at least for this type of film. The only criteria I guess she fit was she looked good in a bikini, which by the way seems to be the only point to this film. Two hours of a bunch of cute girls in earth tone bikini's. bosworth spends a good 90% of the film practically naked. The surfing footage in the film was not all that spectacular. I am sure you can find much better in another film. The only thing I found good about this film was that the cinematography was very good especially with the wave footage. The sounds of the waves also added some intensity but that was about it. The story flops, the viewer is confused, the actors have poor emotion and everything plays out as expected. The film really only garners a rental if you wanna see some cute people in bathing suits or kill some time with some ok surfing footage but other than that don't waste your time. One Crazy Summer was a much more interesting and funny movie that has basically the same plot and is much better done.

Summary: Cool story of female determination and relationship
Review: This is not some plotless movie filled with surfing shots. There's actually a real story here. Nice to see a story about surfing, with a hot young woman as the star, more women surfing, with great shots above and underwater of it all. I gave it 4 stars. The only well developed character is the star (Anne-Marie) who sets out to accomplish her goal of winning corporate sponsorship by surfing Pipeline. We get to see her life surfing, working, home, love life. We see her work towards her goal and be distracted along the way by romance, a rebellious little sister, etc.. I'm glad I saw Blue Crush. Anyway, if you like to surf or bodyboard, if you're a man who likes to look at nice-looking women, or a girl/woman who wants to see women do well in a male-dominated sport; then this is the movie for you.

Summary: Blue Crush
Review: I enjoyed watching this movie. It really showed how girls can do amazing things too, and that everyone has a fear. You really just need to overcome that fear. For those of you who like romance, there's a little in the movie also. I would recommend Blue Crush.

Summary: This movie is so cool
Review: k, maybe I'm over enthusiastic about it but....... never before have I seen in a surfing movie such cinematography and realism. Surfing is my thang, you see, and I want to see a good movie, not some Point Break movie. Neway, its about 3 surfer bum chicks who like cruise around surfing, while supporting themselves on their hotel jobs. They all rock, by the way, and are pretty hot. While it may sound like a chick flick or wutever you want to descibe it as, it is very entertaining to the max!!! Oh, and its real too, the script settings, and competitions. Some parts are funny, not really funny, but not lame. So you might want to see this movie for.........
$ Friends told you about it
$ The girls do wear bikinis often
$ Surfing Surfing and cruising around scenes
$ Pretty good music...... they laid off the Beach Boys junk.
$ So entertaining.
Neway, wutever reason u want to see it for.... it definitely has a good direction and, *im not kidding*, good acting from the girls. By the way, it has boys in it too, the posters can be misleading.

Summary: Not Crushing, But Not Bad.
Review: I put off seeing this film because it seemed like a big marketing thing more than a serious film that dealt with the art or the act of surfing. But then I was fortunate enough to see it as an in-flight movie on a recent trip abroad, and I say fortunate because the film was suprizingly effective in its presentation... The surfing cinematography is superb- especially the big Pipe stuff. It's rare to see these sort of angles where the cameraman is just as deep in the barrel as the rider- so that was pretty impressive. The storyline, while not all that realistic as far as how these surfing contests play out (like the 'North Shore'), has some powerful drama between the heroine, her sister, friends, and even her fly-by-night boyfriend. This film is another attempt to bring surfing to Hollywood- but stops just short of the mainstream line of simplistic drama and idealistic surfing representation. There's really quite a few levels of ingenuity to this film- it's fun to watch at times, the cinematorpahy is of high quality, and the message to females (and males) is effective enough- which is, 'Girls have as much a right to shred the waves, if that's what really turns them on, as guys.' I myself (a male) see pro women surfers doing things in the water nowadays that I can only dream about. Then again- I work sixty hours a week behind a desk, so don't really have the chance to get that good in the water. Yet, that being said, I wish I had a female surfer as a girlfriend! (ESPECIALLY if she surfed better than me!)

Summary: A pleasant surprise
Review: I am very into surfing, and generally stay away from the the cornier stuff out there. Still, I couldn't believe how well this movie came off. The plot is fairly simple and somewhat cheesy, but watching Kate Bosworth and Sanoe Lake parade around Hawaii in bikinis the size of postage stamps certainly puts an intriguing spin on things. The surf sequences are shot beautifully, actually looking more like a well-made documentary than a cheap, teen flick. And the inclusion of real life surfers definitely adds to the movie's credibility. Well done.

Summary: This is It!
Review: Ok, so a girl named Ann Marie (Kate Bosworth) wants to become a champion like Rocky, but in a surfing competition in Oahu. Admirable. The Bonzai Pipeline is extreme, but will Ann Marie overcome her fear? You bet! She's got Michelle Rodriguez on her heels like a drill sergeant. "This is it! This is it!" Don't let your personal life interfere with business. C'mon now. Let those football players clean up their own vomit. Where's Steven Seagal when you need him? He could pass as a Hawaiian and played a Buddha easily. Go over there and call those mean guys 'CSFPAHs!' and toss them around. You'd think this movie is a chick flick, but "Blue Crush" has decent surfing scenes. "Point Break" was better, but "Blue Crush" compares itself to "North Shore." Yes, to the reviewer below, I have seen that movie and yes, Nia Peeples was extremely hot in that movie. Now, everybody see this movie.

Summary: One of the better surfing movies!
Review: This is one of the better surfing movies out there. Some of the scenes are the best surfing footage I've seen. The story can be a bit better, but the overall premise isn't bad; too bad there isn't a real Pipeline Masters for women, simply because they don't get enough sponorship and respect in the surfing community. The other surfing movie I would recommend would be "In God's Hands"; not as mainstream as Blue Crush, but for the lack of better surfing movies, these two will do.
