Reviews for Blue Crush

Blue Crush works because it takes the sport - and its practitioners - seriously.

On its own limited terms, Blue Crush is a complete success -- a genuine Billabong-hit of adrenaline.

I'd suggest a triple feature of Beach Party movies as a far more pleasurable %u2013 and intellectually rewarding %u2013 experience.

Despite the fact “Blue Crush’s” characters are thinly written with acting as transparent as a politician’s apology - I liked the film.

This is surfing like you've never seen before!

The film is lightweight but deft summer entertainment.

Blue Crush achieves something no other surfing movie has even attempted: it tells a good story, with a lovely screenplay and engaging characters.

You almost feel like you have been out there on the waves.

I found a rare moment when I couldn't predict where it was headed, but John Stockwell directs at such a breezy clip and the surfing shots are so galvanizing, I didn't mind.
