Likewise the worthy message about the value of friendship, central to Alice Hoffman’s novel, is drowned out by a sappy, magazine-style portrait of girlhood that’s all lip-gloss and giggles. At least Paxton shows a keen instinct for comedy as she tries to get a handle on dating etiquette, but the more she shines, the more Claire and Hailey’s predicament feels like a dull afterthought. Mostly the action involves predictable 'fish out of water' japes, vying with the popular girls for Raymond’s attention and the obligatory shopping montage. It’s only when Paxton rears her head in a swimming pool and sets her sights on Raymond that the film finally begins in earnest. There are two minor annoyances in this movie, but they didnt bother me that much.
#Aquamarine 2006 full movie movie
This movie flew by the entire time (2h 23mi) I watched it. Two teenage girls discover that mermaids really do exist after a violent storm washes one ashore. Unfortunately all these details take an age to unfold. Aquaman is an awesome movie I know a lot of people will hate this movie, but thats probably because its not a Marvel movie. PG 1 hr 44 min Mar 3rd, 2006 Romance, Family, Comedy, Fantasy. Meanwhile the threat of separation looms over them as Hailey’s mother lands a job in Australia. For supervising grownups, its giddy leanings will induce seasickness.Īnchoring the story are plain Janes Claire and Hailey (Emma Roberts and Joanna Levesque) who while away the hours mooning over hunky lifeguard Raymond (Jake McDorman). Girls under twelve will probably lap it up, but director Elizabeth Allen (making her big screen debut) fails to give the story a cinematic breadth.
Starlet Sara Paxton glitters in the role, but she has to swim through an ocean of froth and treacle to arrive at the conclusion that friends are more important than boys. In this bubble-brained flick, Aquamarine is a teenage mermaid fishing for love on dry land.
