Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

smatysia This was a very formulaic athletic/sports movie which hews closely to all of the genre's conventions. That said, however, it is all done pretty well. There were no real false notes on the acting, which means that the script had to be pretty decent, as even great actors can rarely overcome bad dialog. Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sanoe Lake also all looked very nice in swimwear. The cinematography had to be very challenging and looked great, even though surfing footage can be a bit monotonous, going all the way back to "Endless Summer". Interesting portrayal of the surf spots where a hundred or more surfers are competing for waves. There were some annoying rap "songs" on the soundtrack which detracted from the movie a bit.

osyenka There are two movies here, and only one of them is really worth seeing.The first one is a predictable "overcoming your fears" story, which, as usual, focuses on the least interesting but most WASP-y character. Nothing to offensive there except how dull she was. Why didn't they focus on Sanoe Lake's character, who was WAY less insipid? The second movie was a about water. And waves. And figuring out how to convince them to let you ride them without dying. Whoever filmed the water sequences should go to heaven on this film alone- it's beautiful and terrifying. I was on the edge of my seat with every wave. Perfect.I'm a super n00b surfer and learned at a women-friendly break. I didn't realize how unusual that was. My favorite part of the "above water" part of this movie is when Kennelly coaches and cheer leads her competitor onto a perfect wave. When I've surfed with women it's really like that. When I finally caught a wave, every women there cheered.It was great to see this camaraderie in a film.And to anyone worrying about this film being nothing but titillation, it isn't. Yes, they're in bikinis. If you've been to Hawaii you know that's what people wear on the beach, even people you might wish didn't. There was nothing salacious, even when they could have gotten away with it in the plot. (Think of all the wet bikini shots they missed by having Bosworth wear a rash guard!) It was a very modest film. The T&A emphasis the previous reviewers remarked upon came from their brains, and not from the film.

Kristine When I was at Wal Mart a few weeks ago, I saw a DVD that had three movies in it for 10 bucks, Blue Crush happened to be one of them, so I figured to go ahead and see the film, I mean, decent price, the movie might be worth a look. So I watched Blue Crush last night and I have to say that when I remembered seeing the trailer for Blue Crush when it first came out and it looked like the most lame thing ever, I was 17 years old at the time, so watching this now, it was better than what I expected. But still, it was nothing special, it was like one of those movies that you see once, and you're happy with seeing it that one time. It has fun sports, hot actors(that really can't act), and a decent story that's worth a look, even if it is a little too much of a chick flick at times.Anne Marie is a young girl in Hawaii who lives with two other friends and her little sister. Her mother ran away and left her with all the responsibilities of being an adult. Anne Marie is also a competitive surfer and kicks butt on the waves, so much so, that her room mate, Eden, wants her to compete in the pipe line contest, which is extremely dangerous and Anne Marie has a fear off since she almost died from a wipe out when she was a little girl. A hot tourist, Matt, distracts her and has a steamy affair with him, she forgets who she is and has to get back on track in order for her dreams to come true.Blue Crush is a cute movie and has an uplifting and positive message to go the distance and make your dreams come true. Sounds cheesy, but I think young girls need more movies like Blue Crush, it's cool for the tween crowd. As an adult, like I said, it's average, but it was a decent film. There's nothing terribly wrong with the film, there are a few unbelievable things and it's a little predictable, the acting is alright, but it's all good, it's just a cute film. Blue Crush is worth a look if you're looking for a sport type of film, but for me, that's all that I'm going to have of the film.5/10

ptb-8 Good looking but ultimately routine surfing drama with 3 girl lead actors instead of guys.... offers more than it delivers mainly because there isn't a lot the producers can do with the material that hasn't been seen already in IN GODS HANDS or BIG Wednesday or even NORTH SHORE or Brit silliness BLUE JUICE or Australian travesties like LIQUID BRIDGE. In between great looking surf footage is the usual suburban TV level scenes in semi squalor, wild parties and teen arguments... or silly scenes in the workplace (hotel chambermaid scenes that are disgusting and just plain ugly....toilet bowls and condoms....ugh, yawn etc). Aimed squarely at teen audiences... primarily girls, and with the added butch aggro in the usual cranky performance by Michelle Rodriguez, there is absolutely nothing in this film for adults... sadly even those young adults in their 20s.
