Segui l'onda

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.

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.

The storyline makes no sense. There are Way to many different storylines, and the characters relationsships are not at all explored properly, so the chemistry is non-existing. It is by far the worst film I have ever seen. The progress of the film made me angry.

Keep in mind that this is m first review and i english is not my first language. This movie, in my opinion, is not that good and there is so much that i didn't like it but most of it it was Cora, the lead actress. I actually like her and i don't know if it was just me but i didn't feel the chemestry during the movie, whoerever with her mother, aunt or the boy she liked. But maybe i'm wrong. Most of the movie she is posing for the camera and i feel like its a typical disney cliché (and i don't even know if this is a disney movie). Overall, i didn't feel like it was a bad movie or something like that but in my opinion is not that great either. You will find yourself picking your phone and scrolling through instragam, for example, while the movie is on and some parts i find it cringe. Maybe im just a bad reviewer but this is not worth more than 6 stars.

I absolutely loved this movie. Such a good movie of coming to age, family expectations, and becoming yourself when you don't think it's possible. I have no clue why there's bad reviews here - this movie was great from start to finish for me! I fell in love with every character and followed the movie easily.
