Un tuffo nel passato

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!

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.

This is a good movie about kids who surf and a teen who inherits beach front land in Hawaii. The girl gets to know a bit more about her mom's family and has to decide if she should sell the land to developers or maintain her family's legacy and historic property.

The girl becomes more assertive with her over protective dad and step mom and meets on of her mom's best friends. It's a little cheesy but it is a Disney Channel movie.

I'm not sure why the review needs to be this long. I think that is ridiculous. I don't want to give away the whole story of the movie. Go watch it yourself if you'd like.

Looking for a great children's movie with a Hawaiian theme? Rip Girls has it all. Although the ostensible story line is a bit implausible, the taste of Hawaiian culture and respectful treatment of all generations is well above expectations. This is the kind of movie I used to expect routinely from Disney.

Here is a solid, satisfying film, very much in the mold of the best of Disney's product of recent years -- seamless, escapist and enjoyable.

Be especially on the lookout for the outstanding music by Philip Marshall. While helping drive the action forward and maintaining a resolute pace in the usual professional Disney fashion, the score also gives opportunities for some very tasty virtuoso slide guitar riffage, as well as mood-reinforcing Hawaiian slack key work.

The talents of Martha Coolidge have by no means gone astray here. As director of such under-appreciated gems as "Real Genius", "Rambling Rose", and "Valley Girl", her efforts as producer of "Rip Girls" seem to have pulled together a well-coordinated package well worth a look.
