Blue Crush (2002) #1: Girls just gotta surf!
 

Definately among my top enjoyable films. Other than Superman, this was one of my favorites of Kate Bosworth's performances. I've always loved films that deal with water and this one definately rocks!

This isn't a bad film... But it was horribly under-marketed (to guys) and over-marketed (to teen girls) at the same time. The studio just didn't have enough faith the film would find its own audience and ultimately it got pigeonholed into being a "chick flick" when it is the farthest thing from this in my opinion.

Also, it was released at the end of summer -- Odd for a summer-themed film -- And in the wake of "Episode II: TPM" that year as well. Regardless, this is not a bad film for what it is:

It's lite, fluff-entertainment about amateur female surfers hoping to hit the big time and the choices and sacrifices they must make in order to balance everything out. Michelle Rodriguez and Senoi(sp?) Lake also hold their own (and are vastly under-rated) next to Bosworth which makes the film a great enssemble piece too.

One of my favorite movies. I love it. I agree with you, R2Roswell, I love films with water too. Surfing is so interesting and the cast was great too.

Yeah it's one of my favorite films too.

i agree, its in my top 5 of movies! :D i love Michelle

Michelle Rodriguez PWNS! End. lol

I love her in anything <33
... I also love the soundtrack to this movie.

I like Kate!

Starting thinking of P.O.D.'s Youth of the Nation :dj: and was immediately drawn to this thread - I used to LOVE this movie. :sun: That song is used ell in the film, when Bosworth and Rodriguez are on the speedboat together :blinkie:

Well said. :clap: I totally agree that it was undersold and done a great disservice. Bosworth's character had a lot of deep-rooted issues and struggled particularly with abandonment in relation to her parents & how that impacted her ability to focus when surfing.
