The movie isn't nearly dumb enough to be much beach fun.
The body-doubling and face-pasting are unfortunately blatant.
A pure celebration of riding the waves.
A big, sexy, sun-splashed thrill ride.
Blue Crush has all the trappings of an energetic, extreme-sports adventure, but ends up more of a creaky "Pretty Woman" retread, with the emphasis on self-empowering schmaltz and big-wave surfing that gives pic its title an afterthought.
Affable yet forgettable...
Tough yet tender surfer heroine story.
Sporting a cast of up-and-coming actresses, John Stockwell's surfing flick offers up a slice of entertainment that acknowledges its roots and whose throw away pleasures arrive with no guilt.
When the movie attempts to tell a story on land, you might want to bring along a flashlight and a magazine.
Proves to indeed be the formulaic bore it appears to be, however nicely dressed up (or undressed, depending on one's perspective) it is.
There are minor convolutions and illogical story points, but it is the movie's sound mix that puts you in the pipe and keeps you there.
Stockwell has made half of a good movie. Now he needs to figure out how to craft a film with words worthy of the beauty of its images.
Apesar de um ou outro diálogo se render ao clichê do "vença-seus-medos!", o filme é bem realizado, conta com protagonistas carismáticas e transforma o surfe em um esporte com incrível apelo cinematográfico.
