This movie, in fact, is all about conformity.
This film is entirely harmless. It's utterly forgettable.
The movie has a sweetness and innocence that makes it near perfect entertainment for its target audience.
Like its title character, Allen's choppy and inconsistent film has two speeds, ditsy or sentimental, and never gathers momentum.
Aquamarine really is just an adorable movie. And along the way, life lessons about love, friendship, adjusting to bad news and overcoming grief -- are passed along in a not-that-obvious fashion.
Girls deserve a fun time at the movies, but they also deserve movies with a better message than Fib, Flirt and Shop.
Director Elizabeth Allen sets a nicely easy-breezy tone for Aquamarine, but her comic timing is sometimes shaky and she sadly cannot overcome the weaknesses of the script.
The movie scores a major victory in reaching its audience with the all-too-important message that they are fine just the way they are.
Kids seem to love the recognizable 'tween stars, but for the rest of us it's sort of like the cotton-candy scene%u2014we're not sure whether to eat it or rub our faces in it.
As shameless as trashy cookie-cutter studios movies will ever get.
The performances are charming, particularly JoJo Levesque, who is rapidly becoming the new Lindsay Lohan (only in a good way).
Unfortunately, the performances are often clunky and the art direction and CG are wanting, so anyone over the age of eight is likely to find it cheap around the edges. One for very little mermaids.
This fantasy comedy should entertain its pre-teen female market -- and repel those silly superficial boys (swoon).
This is when my job feels like work.
From Aquamarine to Hoot to Stick It, 2006 is turning out to be a banner year for the tweener-geared film.
if you aren't expecting much, Aquamarine isn't an utterly awful way to spend an afternoon
For supervising grownups, its giddy leanings will induce seasickness.
It's silly and trivial but harmless enough for undemanding teenage girls, and Roberts and Levesque make a vivacious team.
