Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lightdeossk Captivating movie !

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

SnoopyStyle Anne Marie Chadwick (Kate Bosworth) is a local surfer girl with best friends Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake) aiming to surf the Pipe in competition. Her little sister Penny (Mika Boorem) is getting more rebellious especially when their mother leaves town. She struggles against testosterone driven surf culture, and her disgusting job as a hotel maid. However the arrival of pro football quarterback Matt Tollman (Matthew Davis) may distract her away from her goal.On the surface, this movie has beautiful babes in beautiful exotic locales. Beneath the surface, there is a compelling underdog story. It has emotions. She has to overcome her fears. Kate Bosworth is good as a girl unsure of herself. Rodriguez is the girl with attitude to spare. It's more than a simple exploitation film.

Desertman84 Blue Crush is a based on the Outside magazine article "Life's Swell" by Susan Orlean.It stars Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez, Sanoe Lake, and Mika Boorem.The film tells the story of three friends who have one passion: surfing on Hawaii's famed North Shore.John Stockwell directs.Anne Marie, Eden and Lena are best friends. Anne Marie and her friends have been raising her 14-year-old sister, Penny. While Penny is at school,all friends work as maids at a large resort hotel.And most of all, they are surfers. Anne Marie rises every morning before dawn to train for her surfing comeback. She was once considered a rising star in women's surfing but a near-drowning incident temporarily halted her career and left her with deep-seated fears. Her friends, especially Eden, have encouraged her to try it again.Then,Anne Marie has been invited to join in an upcoming surf competition at the famed North Shore surf spot, Pipeline.While the film isn't pretentious as a guilty pleasure,it is amazing that the photography and editing do well to demonstrate the beauty of how it all looks while moving with a momentum that wraps us up in the physical drama.And also,it was made to inspire the young people in whatever endeavors they want to pursue.

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.

macvader999 Unless you really enjoy B movies or surfing then this movie isn't worth your time. I admit there were some neat surfing shots but outside of that this film had no redeeming qualities. The plot, if you can call it one, revolves around surfer phenom Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) making a comeback to the sport after nearly drowning, she hit her head on a rock, during a competition. The film tracks Anne Marie as she prepares for a major surfing competition while trying to overcome lasting psychological effects of her near drowning experience. Overall, the plot was filled with clichés and the acting was bad to, at times, atrocious. Even the solid surfing scenes weren't enough to pique my interest. So unless you want to watch relatively unappealing (sorry, Kate) women surfing then I'd pass on this movie.
