Amazon.co.uk Review
With refreshing energy, Blue Crush is the kind of movie that girls and young women deserve to see more of. It's mostly for them (although nice tans and bikinis will attract the guys), and it rejuvenates the surf-movie tradition by showing real girls with real friendships, coping with absent parents, borderline poverty, rocky romance, and the challenge of raising a kid sister. For young Hawaiian Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth), those responsibilities are motivations to excel as a champion-class surfer--if she can overcome the fear of drowning, which she nearly did in a previous wipeout. Supportive friends (Girlfight's Michelle Rodriguez, and Sanoe Lake) help her reach the climactic competition on Oahu's infamous Bonzai Pipeline, and like Saturday Night Fever, this engaging film uplifts the working class without condescension, riding high toward the joy of achievement. As an amateur surfer, director John Stockwell (Crazy/Beautiful) captures the extreme thrill of the sport while respecting the forces of nature and human behaviour. --Jeff Shannon

Awesome!!,
This review is from: Blue Crush [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
It's great to finally see a film where surfing isn't potrayed as the perfect lifestyle and an easy sport. What's great about this film is that it shows that not everything is perfect in the world. Although Annmarie's life might seem great from the outside, I bet that bringing up a rebellious sister and struggling with near poverty is no cup of tea. The photography in this movie is amazing, the way that it switches from over the water to under the water. The background of Hawaii is beautiful, and the Director has managed to capture the dangerous reality of surfing despite all of these factors. A must-see movie: captures the harsh reality of life with a feel-good ending!

Cooooool surfing and ladies!,

This review is from: Blue Crush [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
As far as movies go (even as a surf flick) this is great entertainment. I love surfing...and...well women too, so what more could i want in a movie! Beside that the movie does have some great surf footage, an easy plot to follow, good action scenes and but most importantly manages to capture part of the escene of surfing and the anguish of wipeouts. My girlfriend thoroughly enjoyed this too, so based on this as well, it gets 5 stars : )

I love this movie - I know a lot of reviewers here have bombed the storyline etc but it's fun. The Hawaiian scenery is beautiful and the fact that Kate Bosworth, Michelle Rodriguez and Sanoe Lake trained in surfing for months to do all their own stunts for the movie makes it even better. Yeah, the story may be basic and a little predicable but I'd still recommend it - if just for the stunning Hawaiian scenery and the great soundtrack.
