Critics Consensus

The surfing sequences are exhilarating, but the plot is pretty forgettable and trite.

Tough yet tender surfer heroine story.

Surfing is extreme sport, but only so-so cinema. When you've seen one wave, you've seen them all: so it soon looks. All the babes who do the surfing in John Stockwell's youth-cult romance also come off an assembly line of blonde bimbos.

The movie isn't nearly dumb enough to be much beach fun.

2/4

The cinematography is spectacular -- viewers are placed on top of, in the middle of, and under the waves -- but the story is a narrative wipeout almost from the start.

If you’re into surfing, gorgeous landscapes and need some low-brow mush to watch on a cosy weekend, Blue Crush fits the bill perfectly.

Story wise Blue Crush falls flat when it is on land, but the surfing scenes are spectacular.

I can’t say much good about this movie. The storyline is weak, the acting is poor, and it’s just incredibly boring. The only reason it gets one star is for the music.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
