Blue Crush (2002)

I love this movie so much

Overrated

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Every once in a while a movie fanatic such as myself will come across what can only be described as a "solid production." Blue Crush follows the lives of three best friends, AnneMarie, Lena and Eden. The trio form a tight-nit support system as they struggle to make ends meat (rice crispy treats often constitute their breakfast). The one thing these ladies do have going for them is that they are all talented surfers. It's clear that surfing provides them with an escape from the harsh reality of life, and they try to hit the waves every second they can. AnneMarie is acknowledged as the most talented of the three and has the best shot at winning the "Pipe Surfing Competition." However, a near-fatal surfing accident has left her with a bad case of PTSD. Yet their luck changes for the better when a group of football players roll into town, providing both romantic and financial opportunities. While their money provides an ease on the financial burden, the dashingly good-looking Quarterback could prove to be more of a distraction for the hard-core AnneMarie. This movie has a simple plot line that is executed perfectly. Blue Crush is a straight forward, no BS kind of movie that is short, sweet and to the point and it has just enough surfing action to gage your interest.. The actresses/actors do a great job of conveying the sincerity of their characters, and their situation is very believable.

I just made myself a profile here because of this stupid movie! Why does everybody love it? I mean it sucks! IT SUCKS! It's on TV as I write this, and it's 40 minutes into the movie and I HATE IT already! What is the point of this movie. Boring storyline, no character development (so far at least), no anything. My god, I can't even remember the characters' names and the storyline (what little storyline it has) I just can't find, maybe if I had it on DVD, I could read what it is about, but so far it has been a movie about chicks and surfboards and some nature scenery, that's it! I've wasted 40 minutes of my life... I can't go on writing about this movie, I'm gonna go do something fun, like slam my head against a wall...I would have rated lower if I could, but I give it 1 star because I kick ass.

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.

This is a great movie! The surfing scene's are brilliant! Everything is perfect! Even the house and car made me feel all warm inside! We're actually thinking about moving to Hawaii thanks to this movie. There are some stupid mistakes in this movie. I'm a big fan of Michelle Rodriquez, but don't let her play in a surf movie if she can't surf... When she's surfing you can't see her face or you only see her back... so that's kind of pathetic... But this movie is funny, romantic, exciting, active and so much more! In one word: Great! I really don't understand why there are so many people who don't like this movie... It's really great! If it's a hot summer night and you're with you boyfriends/girlfriend you should definitely watch this movie!
