Good concept, poorly executed.

Blistering performances.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie was fun for me. I saw adds for this on TV and the fact that is was straight to DVD made me doubt it's potential, but being a fan of the original I figured I give it a chance, so when I saw this on Netflix I thought it'd be something to watch to pass the time. I was impressed by it, granted it definitely wasn't the greatest acting and lines were cheesy here and there but I did enjoy it.It was an entirely different story from the first and I enjoyed that fact, they weren't trying to continue off a story that people forgot about a decade ago. The story is about a California girl trying to find her own and the only way she knows how is to retrace her mother's surfing footsteps in South Africa, with only a picture album to go on she flies SA and starts her journey, but it's not as simple as she thought it be and immediately doubts herself and her journey. However she manages to make new friends that help her with her goal to walk in her mother's footsteps.I find movies like this really entertaining, they know they won't be making the Oscar's or win awards but they do the best they can. It's a very chill and relaxing film, paying homage to most surf films which is basically a "chill or be chill" vibe which in it's own right is a very attractive scenario, at least for me.I give this film 8 because the acting isn't the best and it get's cheesy in some parts but overall this is a great film it's worth a watch if you like surfer flicks and it's something relaxing enough to watch on a lazy day. Like I said in the title, not the best but I'm still going to watch it again.

I wasn't expecting much for this movie; however, as I watched my expectations lowered very quickly. The acting is sub-par, as is the plot in general. The plot is not very complex; although by seeing the commercial for this film that secret is already blown off. It seemed as if the directors just plucked outgoing teenagers from the region where they were supposed to be from, shoved them into bikinis, gave them a script, and then recorded.The most frustrating quality of this movie is the volume. It frequently fluctuated from a soft whisper to an extremely loud burst of sound. Around every 2-3 minutes I had to adjust the volume. Hardly any redeeming qualities. I turned it off after about 60 minutes. Did not like this movie.

Blue Crush 2 tried to show the hard life of a surfer girl. The new approach of showing the hard life of a rich girl instead of a poor Hawaiian who just wanted to make it big, like they did in Blue Crush 1, wasn't a big thing for many people. The acting was good enough to keep you involved in the movie but the only thing that could have been better was the accents of the characters. Sasha Jackson constantly had her original dialect slip in the movie, which made it noticeable because she was playing the American surfer girl Dana. Elizabeth Mathis and Gideon Emery had convincing parts as Pushy and Dana's father and the characters of Tim, Tara, and Grant completed the story well. The acting of Sasha Jackson was OK but if they really wanted her as the rule they should of changed the storyline cause her accent sucked in the movie. The big plus was that the main actors/actress did do a decent part of their surfing. All in all the movie wasn't that bad, and in fact I bought it on DVD because I love when a low budget film does a good job of showing the storyline

Blue Crush 2 isn't an imitation of Blue Crush.It is an entirely different story.Blue Crush 2 is a traveling/coming of age story. A young surfer girl goes to South Africa to follow in her mother's footsteps and in the process find herself.The acting isn't great. But that isn't the point is it? The movie is about surfing and traveling to great surf spots in South Africa.Yes it is a cheap direct to video sequel. They don't have the budget of the original and they don't have the same star power as Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez. However is the movie still enjoyable? Does it tell a good story? Do you enjoy the surf scenes? Do you enjoy meeting her "beach family"?I think so. Perhaps it is because I wasn't looking for an Oscar caliber film. Perhaps it is because I wasn't even looking to replace Blue Crush and I'm not offended that Kate Bosworth isn't in it (the other reviewer obviously is crushing on Kate badly.) Perhaps it is because I've gone through my own life change recently and am envious of our lead character's ability to travel South Africa and surf the legendary surf spots.The movie for me, is good fun, and helps me keep "life" in perspective.I'm looking to start my "Odyssey" soon.
