Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

SnoopyStyle Cora Hamilton (Debby Ryan) is working to be the next IT girl. Her controlling mother runs a NY modeling agency who is mostly concerned about getting her a big modeling contract. After an embarrassing incident goes viral, she decides to run away to her aunt Margot living in a beach house in Australia. Margot is still haunted by the lost of her husband. There are hunky surf teacher Tom and local surf girl Chicka. Cora learns surfing and gets to design for the vintage fashion show.The story is pretty thin. It's not far from Ryan's Disney TV material. There isn't much in terms of drama or tension. It has some nice character growth but isn't much more than that. It's got some pretty scenery and a few pretty people. I'm guessing that this Australian production comes with local talents. The acting is fine. There is nothing out right bad but there is nothing that interesting either.

nannaaagaard It sucked if you ask me. You know those movies that you never really get into? Yep this is that kind of movie.They first of all tried to make it way to meaningful. There was deep music going in 24/7 trough out the whole damn movie. I don't know if other people likes this, but I hate it. And there were so MANY montages. Second of all, every time Cora does something stupid everyone is like "Sure it's alright, who cares about how you freaked out on my friend, how you got mad at your boyfriend for no reason and how you just started to yell at your aunt, who's btw always said she could come to her and just lost her husband". And third of all, the relationships just didn't connect. Cora and her mother and aunt was okey, but her boyfriend? Yikes. I just generally don't like really meaningfull movies with music all the time, so maybe it's just that, but I really didn't like it. Not that I had high expectations, no offense to Debby Ryan, but I firstly thought it wouldn't be good because she plays the head role, and tries to be so so meaningful

KJ Lao I love how they captured the scenes. It was breathtaking and so beautiful. I love the water especially. Very cool.The rest though. Eh. Nothing extraordinary. The story is typical but nothing against it. It just felt rushed somehow. The character development felt lacking. The mother had the most promise actually but it sorta failed with the jump. The lead character was cringy like whatever she did she's the "victim" etc, and everybody is just like I forgive you *hugs*. Some moments were a bit off, especially during the rescuing scene... felt like it was put there just to show the lead character being the "saviour" of the day. Would've added more impact if the aunt saved herself and Cora helps her back to shore.From designer perspective: Unrealistic how an untrained, never even practiced or nor made an outfit in her life (based on the fact that she modelled all her life) actually made 4 swimsuits that perfectly fit the body.

bondjames_0073 Very entertaining movie, actually enjoyed it up in till 10 minutes to ending. Love the scenery and Australian coast, makes me want to go there and actually sign up for surf lessons. That being said, you focussed the movie on modelling and fashion design, and that was your mistake. Really, watch the last 20 minutes of the movie and ask yourself this? You should know that fashion design in a swimsuit area, needs consulting from actual men. Ok, men, how many of you liked any of the swimsuits or the designs? Swimsuit fashion designs should be geared to men. Did you actually have any men screen those outfits and ask if they actually liked them. The swimsuit designs were atrocious, and really, the outfit she is wearing, do you really wear that on a beach? Let me guess, it's a Vercchai or whatever, shoot the guy that designed it, because not all designs work, and the dress she wearing I would throw in a garbage can and light it on fire. What a piece of crap. Sorry went off topic, 7 stars because the movie took me to a place I would love to visit, Australia.
