Summary: Fun little summer film.
Review: Blue Crush (John Stockwell, 2002)It seems to me that most of the critics, who have universally panned this little flick, missed the point. Blue Crush was never supposed to be anything other than a mindless summer film, and in that, it succeeds tremendously. I mean, come on-what do you really want from a movie based on a magazine article, of all things? The film centers around a trio of surfers (Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, and actually surfer Sanoe Lake in her first film role) living together on Maui. One of them, Anne-Marie (Bosworth), is also playing foster mom to her younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem, the youngest member of the cast, and ironically the most experienced actress of the bunch). Penny is still on high school, and the other three are maids at a local resort when not out surfing. Anne-Marie has a chance to enter a national contest, get sponsored by a big company, and have a steadier, and bigger, income. Landing in the way of this particular dream is the young, handsome quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, Matt (Matthew Davis). Love or money? Yep, deep stuff there. The movie is an eighty-five minute excuse for lots of cinematography of waves and lots of model-quality actresses and surfers in small swimwear (and Goat Central would like to castigate whoever it was that thought Michelle Rodriguez needed to wear more clothing than everyone else throughout the film). The plot is thin, though not so full of holes as some have made it out to be (after all, when a plot's that thin, how can you really be too inconsistent?). It is perfect for turning off one's mind, sitting back, and enjoying. Just don't expect brilliance. ** ½

Summary: Suprise hit of the summer-along w/"My Big Fat Greek...!"
Review: When I first went to see this movie(I've actually seen it three times) I had no idea what to expect. As it turns out I, I obviously loved it! The photography was absolutely amazing; I've never seen action shots like the one in this movie. The acting was just OK, but the surfing scenes certainly made up for that. Overall, I thought "Blue Crush" was a fun and entertaining movie that anyone who wants a break from violent, bloody, etc. movies should think about seeing.

Summary: better than expected
Review: The best we should reasonably expect from a movie like "Blue Crush" is that we will be treated to some stunning footage of surfers riding the world's greatest waves (along Hawaii's Pipeline, natch) to personal fame and glory. We certainly get that in abundance - but what we have less right to expect, perhaps, is that the film will offer anything else of any real quality. After all, we've been to these kinds of movies before, harking all the way back to those halcyon Beach Blanket Bingo days when Gidget, Moondoggie and the rest of those addle-brained, teeny-bopper cut-ups aspired to nothing higher than a life of eternal youth spent wallowing in the bleach-white sands of Santa Monica or Malibu. In the case of "Blue Crush," therefore, I am happy to report that the screenplay - by Lizzy Weiss (based on a magazine article by Susan Orlean) -provides just enough touches of realism to keep this new film both life-sized and interesting. And the majority of the credit goes to the film's protagonist, Anne Marie Chadwick who, much to our surprise, engages our sympathies from first moment to last. Anne Marie is no bubble-headed, bleached-blond bimbo with nothing on her mind but winning the big Pipeline competition. Although that is, indeed, part of her life's plan, Anne Marie is, also, an intelligent, pragmatic young woman, fully aware of both her strengths and weaknesses and just trying the best she knows how to make her life work for her, the young sister in her charge and the two surf buddy girlfriends she lives and works with. Anne Marie is also riddled with insecurities, as she struggles to overcome the fear instilled in her by a near-fatal accident in that very same spot a few years earlier. Meanwhile, she and her pals work hard trying to eke out a living as maids at a posh hotel, earning just enough money to keep a roof over their heads and pay some of their bills so they will be free to head to the coast at the first sign of prime "Surf's Up" conditions. The acting in the film is really quite impressive. As Anne Marie, Kate Bosworth lights up the screen with her subtly nuanced, poised and dignified performance. She knows how to use understated facial expressions to convey the thoughts and feelings of the character she is portraying. Equally compelling are Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake as her fun-loving buddies, Mika Boorem as her little sister, and Matthew Davis as the professional football quarterback who becomes her love interest. Director John Stockwell, to his credit, manages to keep the majority of the scenes intimate in tone and realistic in nature, rarely allowing the narrative to wander into overwrought melodrama or teen-movie farce. Even the obligatory fight scene is kept restrained and believable. There are occasional weaknesses in the film - a gaggle of snooty football wives and groupies who snub Anne Marie for being too lower class for their tastes are the primary offenders - but, on the whole, "Blue Crush" turns out to be a much better film than its subject matter would ever lead us to expect. That comes as a particularly pleasant and un-looked-for surprise here in the shank of the summer movie going season.

Summary: Blue Crush- A Surfing Thrill Ride
Review: I must say that Blue Crush was a lot better than I expected. A true surfing movie with humor and drama and some strong performances from beautiful Kate Bosworth. I loved everything about this movie from the plot to the amazing surfing sequences with specatacular cinematography. Director John Stockwell makes this movie shine with true beauty. Blue Crush is rated PG-13, and yes it does contain some inappropriate material for preteens with some steamy sexual innuedno and teen drinking, which is probaly quite habitual for teens and also a fight among teens and of course the usual: profanity. So, not the best choice for young children, but it's quite some entertainment. Michelle Rodriguez,Mattew Davis,Sanoe Lake and Mika Boorem also costar, also giving in some good performances. Blue Crush opened on August 16, see it before you lose the chance at seeing one of this summer's best films! See Blue Crush, rated PG-13 for Sexual Content, Language, Teen Partying and A Fight. See Blue Crush today!
