Les filles de l'océan

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.

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.

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.

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!

Unlike most made for TV Disney Channel movies, Rip Girls shines through and delivers a decent plot and beautiful settings. All of the child actors do an excellent job, and are able to make the movie believable. Definitely a movie for all ages, it's somewhere below the action of Blue Crush, and above the absurdity of Lilo & Stitch. It's respectful of Hawaiian culture and tradition, and portrays surfing in a nice light. I'd recommend this movie to anyone willing to watch the Disney Channel.
