Rip Girls

I thought it was about surfing! I love the whole movie and I'm glad it's not about surfing! I recommend this to almost anyone! This is a family movie! I guess it's for 8 and up since younger kids might not understand the story line and there was lots of blood on the girls face.

The basic plot is almost like science fiction. Teenage girl returns with remarried dad to Hawaii, after learning that she inherited primo beach-front surfing property from mom, who checked out long ago in - you guessed it - a freak surfing accident! Dad struggles with daughter's surfing, daughter struggles with greedy developers, her new friends struggle with possibility of losing their favorite surfing spot to a new resort. Everybody's happy in the end, the whole thing made bearable by the enthusiastic performances of Belle and her best friend Hess (a native Hawaiian who really can surf!). But don't hold your breath for any Blue Crush-style action scenes.

I recently watched this movie and fell in love with the characters immediately. The sub plot of a growing romance between characters and the growing friendships is just so sweet and inspiring! Since I live on an island on the east coast I love surfing and it is totally in this movie. I definitly recommend this movie for ages 8+. Th ere is NO cussing which I love!! For being a disney channel movie I am very impressed especially for a 2000s movie!! I can't say enough about this movie it's just too good. Please watch this movie and I hope you love it as much as I did!!! Surfs up bruthers!! Hang 10!

If I ever inherited a piece of Hawaiian beachfront real estate it wouldn't take much to convince me to stay. But when Dwier Brown gets some property from his late wife's family he wants to be rid of it. Her death in a surfing accident is still haunting him even though he's now married to Lauren Sinclair.

The catch here is that the property is in his daughter's name, his daughter by his first wife. So young Camille Belle has to agree. The locals however do not want to see some developer come and build condos. They launch on a campaign to reconnect Belle with her Hawaiian roots.

I always you cannot make an ugly picture in a Hawaiian locale and it's certainly true for Rip Girls. Camille Belle is pretty and charming in the lead role. Helping to convince her to stay are some of her mother's family and one hunky surfer kid Brian Stark. Another great reason never to leave Hawaii.

Rip Girls is a nice family film from the Magic Kingdom.

Ver-E cute! I thought this was the most well done of the Disney tv movies I've seen. It's really an all ages movie, and it's something I could watch with my siblings, and my parents. I'd give this movie a 9.3 out of ten. I encourage everyone to see it.
