A Onda dos Sonhos 2

Obviously I haven't watched the original 2002 Blue Crush but I don't wanna compare anyway because then this one would be under the shadow as I am seeing in these reviews. I enjoyed the movie not only because Pushy's Zulu name is Nokuthula(which she couldn't pronounce very well by the way) but also because as the first surfing movie I've seen, it was a great experience. I am tired of all those cheer leading movies and football and all other common sports. It was nice to see something different for a change.

I must say I liked the combination of race(specifically imitating African black as opposed to any black race). The flexibility of Dana's character kept the storyline nice because I expected her to rent a hotel or something but she settled nicely in those shacks getting along with those poor pple. It was interesting for me. Thanx.

I wasn't expecting much for this movie; however, as I watched my expectations lowered very quickly.

The acting is sub-par, as is the plot in general. The plot is not very complex; although by seeing the commercial for this film that secret is already blown off.

It seemed as if the directors just plucked outgoing teenagers from the region where they were supposed to be from, shoved them into bikinis, gave them a script, and then recorded.

The most frustrating quality of this movie is the volume. It frequently fluctuated from a soft whisper to an extremely loud burst of sound. Around every 2-3 minutes I had to adjust the volume.

Hardly any redeeming qualities. I turned it off after about 60 minutes. Did not like this movie.

"Blue Crush 2" is the sequel of "Blue Crush" and this one has to do with a girl who is haunted by the memory of her deceased mother and she goes to South Africa to fulfill her mother's dream of surfing in Jefferys Bay (J-Bay).

I did not like this movie as much as the first and I think that this movie is a repeat of the first because and in the first movie we had a girl who was haunted by her own daemons and she was trying so hard to get rid from them and fulfill her own dream (this is a difference).

Finally I think that this movie It's not as good as the first one I believe that the only interpretation that was good was Sasha Jackson's who played as Dana.

I'm not much into made up movies, it was a happy end one, but since Icame to watch it more than once I concider it great. It's oldschool and have a great plot and summer vibes. A human story told in a great way. Love it!

Blue Crush 2 isn't an imitation of Blue Crush.

It is an entirely different story.

Blue Crush 2 is a traveling/coming of age story. A young surfer girl goes to South Africa to follow in her mother's footsteps and in the process find herself.

The acting isn't great. But that isn't the point is it? The movie is about surfing and traveling to great surf spots in South Africa.

Yes it is a cheap direct to video sequel. They don't have the budget of the original and they don't have the same star power as Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez. However is the movie still enjoyable? Does it tell a good story? Do you enjoy the surf scenes? Do you enjoy meeting her "beach family"?

I think so. Perhaps it is because I wasn't looking for an Oscar caliber film. Perhaps it is because I wasn't even looking to replace Blue Crush and I'm not offended that Kate Bosworth isn't in it (the other reviewer obviously is crushing on Kate badly.) Perhaps it is because I've gone through my own life change recently and am envious of our lead character's ability to travel South Africa and surf the legendary surf spots.

The movie for me, is good fun, and helps me keep "life" in perspective.

I'm looking to start my "Odyssey" soon.
