  The viewer stands to gain little from watching this film. Its boring, recycled plot can be found in many sports movies. Athlete is good at his/her sport, gets distracted by life, is encouraged to go back to the sport, is skeptical at first, but then decides that the sport truly is more important and succeeds in the end. That's all there is here. So there's nothing unique or exciting about the core of the film, but hey, at least Kate Bosworth and friends spend half the film in bikinis.

  Kate Skarratt: And when I tell you to go, you gotta go. You gotta paddle your little heart out. You can't hesitate, you can't pull back, you can't hold back. No fear. Alright? Blue Crush was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be. The surf scenes are really well made and look great. I don't think Kate Bosworth is a great actress, but she's beautiful and isn't too bad in this one. The movie for me falls apart because it is over dramatic and most of the time pretty cliche. You can probably guess how the final scene will play out before the movie gets 15 minutes in. Another aspect I hated was the soundtrack. It was really annoying with horrible rap and pop songs and it kind of ruined the best parts of the movie for me. Every time there was a long surf scene they would play horrible music and totally demolish the scene. Not a horrible movie; just a predictable decent one.

  A solid chick flick that delivers when it comes to the oceans and its small stories that flow with it's average dialogue. I can only mildly recommend this, but it is a good movie!

  i quite liked this movie, its sweet enough not a movie i'd watch again though i dont think , although i liked the friendship and it is quite amusing in places and it certainly is sweet and ambscious movie it just doesnt appeal to me as such becuase its not got enough comedy to make it a comedy and its not inspiring enough to be a nice heart felt drama so im left in the middle, it is worth the watch but not a second watch!

  Who would have thought a film with three beautiful girls in bikinis? would be so un-entertaining! This is awful but beautifully shot.

  ACTUAL TRANSCRIPT OF RECORDED MARKETING MEETING, BILLABONG INC., JUNE, 2002* MARKETING DIRECTOR: Alright, word's just come down from the board that we need to sell more clothing, give it some more "mass appeal". PRODUCT DIRECTOR: So, you're saying we should branch out into clothing other than surf wear...? MD: What?? NO! That would cost a ton of money that we don't have, and it might not even work. We just need to make people buy what we're already making. PD: So we should... advertise? MD: Advertise? Where is there an advertising budget? We make clothes for surfing... we can't afford to advertise to anyone else. PD: Ok, so we target surfers? MD: No, no, no, we've got surfers. We need to target non-surfers. PD: And how do we do that? MD: We have to make them think surfing is popular... accessible... easy... fun... cool... you know... PD: And how do you do that, exactly. JANITOR SWEEPING FLOOR: Make a movie about it, dumbass. MD: Yeah... yeah we could do that... or just throw some money at a movie someone's already making...! JANITOR: There's a new one coming out about mountain climbing? MD: Now, see, that's ridiculous. No one climbs mountains. PD: So we get them to change the story... MD: Yeah... and then they only wear Billabong... there's Billabong posters in the background... banners... sponsorships... surf gear...-- PD: --and "casual wear"... MD: Yeah, that's it! (PICKS UP TELEPHONE) Get me John Stockwell. (PAUSES, WAITS FOR CONNECTION) Hi - yeah, John, it's me, how are you? (PAUSE) Listen, you know that mountain climbing movie you're making? (PAUSE) Yeah, yeah, well how about surfing? (PAUSE) What do mean it changes the plot? (PAUSE) Story? What story? (PAUSE) Oh, the lazy Rocky plot... use "find and replace", climbing for surfing... yeah, yeah just change the names, no problem... no, no the plot's fine, I'm sure (PAUSE) whatever, you'll make it look good. PD: Ahem... MD: Sorry, Marty, hang on... (TO PD) What is it? PD: Characters... MD: Right. (BACK INTO PHONE) So what are the characters like? Yeah, you know the jock guy in the lead... make him a girl. (PAUSE) So what? A hot girl. (PAUSE) No, no, she doesn't have to know how to act, I don't care, just make sure she looks good. (PAUSE) Empathize? No, we don't want to empathize with her, we want to see her surf, dammit! (PAUSE) Yeah, just give her some kinda hot friends, but make sure she stands out... ok, get back to me. (PAUSE) What's that? Oh, yeah, costumes... well, that's why we called, we want to take care of that for you... (END RECORDING.) *Dramatization - may not have happened.

  Awwwwwful.

  This female surf film is light-weight, but entertaining, with an appealing cast, colourful locations, and excellent surfing scenes. Three Maui surfer girls are good-looking athletic and sexy - WOW!

  i saw this i'm sorry

  I love this movie. This is pretty much the only film Kate Bosworth has been in that i've actually liked. Plus its a film about surfing..how could I not like it?

  For what it is, it's a nice, fun little movie.

  I'm sorry. I know it isn't that great. I know it's predictable. But god damn it, I just feel so lovingly towards it. Also it's sweet how they cant play a scene without some cool rock or pop laying down beats. Anyways the cinematogrophy during surfing scenes is breathtaking, so shut it.

  <i>"And when I tell you to go, you gotta go. You gotta paddle your little heart out. You can't hesitate, you can't pull back, you can't hold back. No fear."</i> - <i>Kate Skarratt</i><br> <br> <b>Blue Crush</b> is a very enjoyable and touching tale with spectacular waves that will have you screaming at the screen for everyone to get the hell out of the water. It starts off badly, with a rather psychedelic flash back sequence that shows us the traumatic surfing experience that haunts <i>Anne Marie</i> and is the reason she has been out of the professional circuit for the last few years. But very soon the characters begin to win us over. <i>Kate Bosworth</i> gives a great performance and perfectly portrays the mixture of adrenaline, exhaustion, vulnerability and absolute terror that anyone facing mother natures at her most magnificent would feel. The waves are the most spectacular you will see on screen, with stunning camera work and sound. The surf sequences are absolutely gripping. On land the movie holds up just as well. Eventhough many ideas and sequences are lifted directly from a variety of other movies, they are handled in a fresh way, and have plenty of laugh out loud moments. The supporting cast is uneven, from the two brilliant big and black American Footballers to the dubious use of real life surfers and locals. However this seems to add a realism that actually works well as these few scenes can feel like the link shots used between the action in real surfing videos. The plot is not great, and is has been accused of being a mindless sports/action movie that uses scantily clad girls for titillation. But a great movie to get you in the mood for summer.

  Ann Marie Chadwick (Kate Bosworth) is a former junior surfing champion, who has been out of competition since a nearly fatal surfing accident in a tournament. She dreams of one day becoming the best surfer in the world, but for now she is stuck in a dead-end job as a hotel maid with her two best friends Eden and Lena (a very intense Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake) whilst raising her 12-year old sister Penny. (Mika Boorem) The no nonsense Eden questions Anne Marie's commitment, when she pursues a possible relationship with a visiting Pro Quarterback, Matthew (played by Matt Tollman). Maybe I was in the mood for something lightweight but I found myself oddly entertained by Blue Crush. The sound track is fun and the cinematography was spectacular with killer surfing sequences and breath-taking waves, all filmed in beautiful Hawaii. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=23kz2jb" target="_blank"><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/23kz2jb.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=70b6hc" target="_blank"><img src="http://i55.tinypic.com/70b6hc.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=6zc6f9" target="_blank"><img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/6zc6f9.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=mmwsox" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/mmwsox.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2rohqtw" target="_blank"><img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/2rohqtw.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

  Tubular, dude! Better than your average youth-in-love exploit as it takes place in Hawaii with some spectacular surfing sequences. I've never surfed, nor am I a water person, but I still can't help but be impressed, even awed, by some of the camerawork & stunts, some of which are performed by real-life surfing stars. Riding a massive 40-foot wave looks more like an exercise in trying to evade a watery avalanche. At least downhill skiers have helmets and some padding, whereas surfers set themselves against nature's forces with only the thinnest layer of lycra between them. I don't know how much riding Kate Bosworth actually did - obviously not the really dangerous waves - but it appears that she dedicated herself plenty to the task. Two stars for the location + impressive (and plentiful) surfing scenes. One star for Kate wearing a bikini 70% of the time. Minus a half star for the familiar sports movie plot and Michelle Rodriguez for being the pissiest best friend ever. Add another star if you're a beach bum who can't get enough tasty waves, dude.
