Blue Crush Movie Review:


Wake up. Surfz up dude. Well in this case its surfz up dudet. I am talking about the surfing drama Blue Crush.

The whole film revolves around Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth) who is a very talented surfer mentally scarred by a surfing accident where she hits the reef and nearly drowns. Now the fear of facing the big waves and experiencing a similar incident is preventing her from making the pros.

She has to overcome her demons in order to have a chance of winning the Pipe Masters and improving her life for the better in a big way. Time is running out as she only has a week to do it in.

Anne has to take care of her rebellious younger sister Penny (Mika Boorem) after their mom deserted them. Living in a shack with them are Anne’s two best friends, Eden (Michelle Rodriguez) and Lena (Sanoe Lake).

After surfing early in the mornings on the North Shore of Oahu where the competition is to take place, Anne, Eden and Lena barely make a living as maids in a plush hotel.

There Anne meets her new boyfriend who just happens to be pro quarterback Matt Tollman (Matthew Davis). Could it be a lucky coincidence that Matt is a guest at the hotel she works in and falls for her right away? Well if you say so.

After Matt offers to pay Anne $150 per hour for surfing lessons, Anne quits her job. By the way, she asked originally for $20 an hour but Matt, being the gentleman that he is, refuses to pay that amount and insists on paying the same rate the hotel instructor charges. Oh yeah, there is one more reason. Matt wants some hanky panky too and this way he has more time to make his low key macho moves on her.

Now all that’s left for Anne to do is to try and win the big competition. That is, if she can put herself back together mentally and emotionally. She has to conquer her past to become a celebrity pro surfer girl with big sponsors which in turn would lead to her being on magazine covers and making lots of money.

She has to take car of her little sister and needs some serious cash to better their lives and that’s no lie.

If you go for the story then you definitely missed the point of this film. It is all about spectacular surf footage from almost every conceivable angle both below the water line and above.

Don’t forget the star of this movie Kate looks great in a bikini and she is not the only one that does.

You will definitely enjoy Blue Crush if you are looking for lots of bikini clad girls, big waves and a soundtrack to make you feel wet all over - all of which director John Stockell excels at achieving in this film.
