It served its purpose
Ok this was a straight to dvd sequel which means expectations are to be at the bare minimum. Was the acting bad? Sure. But who are we kidding, the acting in the first one wasnt much better. This movie, much like fast and the furious and others that clearly arent meant to present great talented actors, was just meant for fun, and it did its job. Plenty of surfing scenes and semi-likeable characters made this a nice way to kill time while winding down at the end of a work day. I would rent before purchasing, but at least give it that much of a chance.
South African Odyssey
At first I was a bit skeptical when I noticed that this film went straight to video and not released in theatres. Then I saw the trailer on YouTube and just viewing that short preview I could see this was a quality film so I bought it and it's a keeper. There are a few short subplots in the movie but the main story line is Dana's quest to find herself, surf the best swells at the places her mother was at 20 years before and making new friends with the large surfing group she meets. Traveling around South Africa was a joy to watch as it was filmed entirely on location there. A truly uplifting gem of a film for young and old alike and I highly recommend it.
Cool Flick
This is a real feel good movie,something the whole family can enjoy.The movie itself has nothing to do with the original Blue Crush,with the exceptions of the title and surfing.The movie revolves around Dana who leaves California and heads to South Africa to fulfill her mother's dream of surfing J-Bay.The production and acting exceed what you would expect from a direct to dvd release.Even though it is a bit cliche,i will again suggest this for a good family nite movie.
