I wont spoil the ending but let me just say the movies predictable. That alone and you should know what happens.
The movie is what you would expect it to be, three girls in bikinis the whole movie. So if you love the beach and bikinis this movie is for you. There are a lot of things to hate about Blue Crush. The dialogue in the romance scenes are very week and put you to sleep. The whole story line regarding the romance is quite laughable. Also, serious issues such as the relationship between Anne and Penny are skipped for more shots of surfing. The movie is filled with clichés. For example the ‘locals’ get mad when visitors come.
Despite all the movies flaws there are some ‘cute’ moments, many scenes in the hotel provide laughs and allow you to understand the relationship between the friends. Also, the footage in the movie is breathtaking. The water is crystal clear and the girls look gorgeous when surfing. By the end of the movie you really do care for the two-dimensional characters as if you had known them personally.
Also, the movie had a sample of the old classic from Ace of Bace – Cruel Summer. The version in the film had the chorus paired with a rap. The soundtrack to the movie was inspiring and had a good balance of new and old songs.
Blue Crush is every bit as shallow as you’d expect, but much more fun then what was expected. The movie shows a passion for surfing and girls in bikinis.
The movie pitch was sold as, “ Three girls, bikinis, surfing.”
This movie was worth watching and I would watch it again.
