Product Description:
WO YOUNG WOMEN WORK AS MAIDS IN A MAUI RESORT COMMUNITY.WITH OTHING ELSE TO DO WITH THEIR TIME, THE GIRLS DECIDE TO SURF. HEY BECOME VERY GOOD AND ENTER AN ALL-MALE CONTEST.
Amazon.com:
With refreshing energy, Blue Crush is the kind of movie that girls and young women deserve to see more of. It's mostly for them (although nice tans and bikinis will attract the guys), and it rejuvenates the surf-movie tradition by showing real girls with real friendships, coping with absent parents, borderline poverty, rocky romance, and the challenge of raising a kid sister. For young Hawaiian Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth), those responsibilities are motivations to excel as a champion-class surfer... if she can overcome the fear of drowning, which she nearly did in a previous wipeout. Supportive friends (Girlfight's Michelle Rodriguez, and Sanoe Lake) help her reach the climactic competition on Oahu's infamous Bonzai Pipeline, and like Saturday Night Fever, this engaging film uplifts the working class without condescension, riding high toward the joy of achievement. Himself an amateur surfer, director John Stockwell (Crazy/Beautiful) captures the extreme thrill of the sport while respecting the forces of nature and human behavior. --Jeff Shannon

- Great Hawaii Video!
This is a great video if you love the tropical scenery of Hawaii. The storyline and acting is good. And the music is well chosen the the different surf scenes throughout this film. Basically, it a fun movie!
Rating: - Pipe Dreamy
I approached this movie with a lot of trepidition.Surfing to me is as interesting as watching grass grow.This is a towering achievement by director John Stockwell in that he makes surfing understandable to a mere novice but keeps you interested.The ocean camerawork is something to behold and the monster wave shots are sheer artistry.The surf footage has a how-did-they-do-that quality even if there's a little CGI involved.Kate Bosworth gives a star-in-the-making performance as the Anne-Marie ...

- These waves are for the big boys.
2002's BLUE CRUSH stars the adorable Kate Bosworth as the young female pipe-charger Anne Marie Chadwick who is overcoming a past surf injury.
With the help of her two best friends Eden(Michelle Rodriquez) and Lena(Sanoe Lake) Anne Marie begins a training regime in-between watching over her younger sister Penny(Mika Boorem) and working as a hotel maid.
Of course all of these girls have attitude and a fiery spirit which leads them down an exciting path, which includes Matt Tollman(Matthew ... Read More
Rating: - Kate Bosworth rides the pipe!!
The premise of the movie is simple enough: overcoming one's past difficulties and exorcising personal demons.The method of empowerment is surfing.
To be quite honest, when I hear the name Kate Bosworth and the words "riding pipe" in the same sentence, I figure that the movie is a winner.
Anne Marie (Kate Bosworth), Eden (Michelle Rodriguez), and Leena (SOMEONE), are three roommates who love to surf.They pay their way to live by working as housekeepers at a fancy resort hotel.I've stayed ... Read More
Rating: - Fun, fresh and entertaining from the beginning to the very end...
`Blue Crush' is a lot more than just a chick flick with half naked women.It's actually got a lot of heart and a halfway decent storyline.Of course the major draw to a film like this has to be the beautiful Hawaiian scenery, not to mention a few very nice tan lines, but like I mentioned, `Blue Crush' has a lot more to offer.Director John Stockwell has proved before with `Crazy/Beautiful' that he has a delicate and mature touch when approaching the all too often generic teen movie.He is able to infuse enough emotion ...
