Summary: Surf's up with this fantastic chick flick!
Review: "Blue Crush", directed by John Stockwell, is a surfer's dream-film come true, especially if you are a female surfer, and even for non-surfers, it's the perfect summer flick.PLOT SUMMARY: Kate Bosworth stars as Anne Marie, a young woman (probably around her early twenties), who lives in Hawaii with her younger sister who she takes care of, and her two best friends. Anne Marie and her friends are maids in a Hawaiin hotel, and they all love to surf. But after Anne Marie gets fired (and her friends quit, because she got fired), Anne Marie is given the opportunity of a lifetime when she is asked to compete in the Pipe Masters competition, the toughest surfing competition around. And to make money, she agrees to teach football player, Matt (Matthew Davis), and his buddies, how to surf. Sparks instantly start flying between Anne Marie and Matt, which starts to get in the way of things--like her friends and surfing. Her friends want her to concentrate on training for the competition...while Anne Marie wants to spend more time with Matt. But Matt isn't the ONLY thing holding Anne Marie back from competiting in the competition...what she REALLY needs, is more self confidence. MY OVERALL THOUGHTS: I thought "Blue Crush" was well-done. There is a cute storyline and fun script, along with good acting by the entire cast. The surfing was absolutely amazing...and the film had nice special effects. But definitely don't rent this, thinking it's going to be another "Road to Perdition", with deep emotions and well-developed characters. It's probably the actual opposite of that kind of film. Light-hearted and fun, with a hip soundtrack to touch it up. The DVD includes some nice bonus features such as, commentary by the cast and director, behind-the-scenes footage, deleted scenes introduced by the director, a Lenny Kravitz music video, a featurette on the surfing techniques used in the film, bloopers and best action scenes, and a document guide on surfing, including it's history, best places to surf, and equipment requirements. Basically, the DVD has everything a DVD fan could ask for. The DVD is available in wide screen and full frame formats. I highly recommend "Blue Crush". Score:
89/100

Summary: Point break was never this sexy.
Review: What I expected to be a cheesy movie about chicks wanting to be with surfer boys, turned out to be a fantastically done movie about a girl who wants to be a surfing champion. Kate Bosworth plays AnneMarie, A super hot surfer chick in Hawaii who has been invited to compete in the Pipe Masters, the hardest competition around. She also has to take on the responibility of raising her kid sister who is anything but easy to get along with. Along the way to stardom, she meets football hunk, Matt (Matthew Davis) who wants srufing lessons and more. She lets the budding relationship get in the way of her training for the most important day of her life, mush to the chagrin of Eden. Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) is her best friend and the one person who can push her over the edge. AnneMarie must decide what is more important, something she has worked her whole life for or the man she has just started dreaming of. A fantastic film.

Summary: Not worth the purchase
Review: Sorry; I love mindless movies but this one leaves you brain dead. The digital transfer suffers heavily and the colors seem dull and dark. I bought this solely to see Michelle rodriguez in a bikini; she was dressed for snowboarding. She wore more clothes than the guys in the movie.
I didn't get a feel for the surf culture in this movie. At the very least I would have liked to see that but instead you get an unbearable; you can do anything you set your mind to girl/guy; movie.
Ps
Michelle; I think you are beautiful. I'll give you the other four stars that this review is missing!!...
Damixx is a real name; seek and you shall find. I'd love to meet you.

Summary: Takes me back to my Island home.
Review: A good flick, This takes place On the Island of O'ahu not Maui, Being born and raised on O'ahu for Thirty five of my thirty eight years, I DO know. this film takes me back to those bygone years of the easy layed back life of "da Islands", Look beyond all the "This film has no story line" stuff and see the beauty of these young ladies and of O'ahus North and West shores. This IS how life was for me and my friends growing up.
Great Surf, Great fun and True friendship. The Aloha that these Girls show each other is true in Hawai'i, so this Haole from " Da Mainland" should stick to "Da Plotthickenskinemovies".
There is a strong movement in the Womans Surf Community and this Movie is an insperation for all young woman be them Surfers or any endevor they persue. SEE THE FILM

Summary: Fun film that coulda been better
Review: Blue Crush tells the unlikely story of a surfer girl traumatized by a near drowning incident who is entering the big competition that could put her back on track to stardom. Meanwhile, she meets an NFL quarterback, which complicates thing. This movie was fine. The CGI work was so bad it is hilarious, blatantly obvious heads stuck on real surfers. It makes me wonder why, oh why, didn't they a) cast a real surfer in the lead role since it wasn't the most challenging acting role ever, or b) do a whole CGI character, which would have looked much more realistic. The digital head thing just doesn't work. My other main complaint is this movie's complete waste of Michelle Rodriguez, who is a talented actress not getting nearly enough great roles. Girlfight showed she could act. Here she's almost reduced to a cheerleader when it looks like she would have been the one who had what it takes to get to the top. All in all, this movie is a fun watch if you don't take it seriously. The guy that plays Leslie, the huge offensive lineman, is hilarious. The DVD is packed with extras, especially for a moderately-successful box-office performance. Hollywood's finally understanding you can sell more DVD's then movie tickets if you do it right.

Summary: Babes, surf, n' mo'
Review: This is a great movie, I saw it on a whim and never regretted it, besides I really like Michelle Rodriguez and the lead actress, Kate, is not bad either. The surfing sequences really stand out. Highly recommended viewing. I purchased the DVD yesterday and the extras are worth the price.

Summary: An awesome DVD! A must for any collection...
Review: For those who have seen "Blue Crush" in theatres, the long-awaited DVD release date of January 14 couldn't come fast enough. And the DVD delivers -- with excellent commentary by John Stockwell who methodically describes the creation of his labor of love, as the beautifully photographed scenes unfold. There is also some insightful and amusing commentary from the film's three female stars, well worth watching! For those who haven't seen it, "Blue Crush" is a great film, worthy of anyone's collection. Now we can all look forward to John Stockwell's new TV pilot, "The Break," also set in Oahu! Keep up the fine work, John. And buy this DVD -- it's insane!!!

Summary: Awesome Movie: The Best of the Year
Review: I love to surf and this just brought it alive. It has two stories going on in one. There is the romanitic story and the kick [bottom] surfing story. Its about a group of twenty year old girls who have been surfing since they were 6 and now are surfing the Bonzai Pipeline. I think it is the best movie of the year.
