not horrible nor great

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

This is the worst movie I have ever seen, the acting is terrible, the characters are lame and it's just...UGHHH!! It's a lame movie and most of all a waste of time! Did I also mention that it killed TEN of my brain cells per minute?! This movie is cancer! Stay away from this crap pile!

I first heard about and saw Aquamarine only last year (in 2011) when it was screened on our national television :) I thoroughly enjoyed it ! :) Recently it was screened again - I watched it for the second time and relished in its innocence and magical air ! :) It has now inspired me to register with IMDb and write this review ! :) Aquamarine is one of the most FuN and entertaining movies I've experienced ! :) It is indeed a totally "adorable" movie (as other reviewers have commented), with a really cute cast, and fine natural, genuine acting which complements the mood and humour throughout :) On the surface, it appears a simple story, yet deeper messages about life are embedded - and emerge when pondered upon ! :) Aquamarine is a mysterious, feel-fabulous film that really does leave one "glowing" (as another reviewer remarked). Nothing less than a perfect ten from me :) What a lovely movie ! :)

Aquamarine is exactly what it proposes to be, a fish-out-of-water comedy. It's funny, sweet and utterly charming. Joanna Levesque and Emma Roberts play Hayley and Claire, respectively and though Roberts is clearly the more comfortable actress of the two, "jojo" is okay too! Sara Paxton plays the title character, normally the bitch or the victim, it's really nice to see her play a different role here and she makes this movie.I love this movie more and more each time I watch it. It's pure and unpretentious and just plain fun! The three girls always feel genuine and natural together and nothing feels forced on the audience. There is some awkwardness at the beginning and end, re-writes?, but it too joyous to knock the stuff in between. We need more wonderful films like this that the whole family can truly enjoy.There are three scenes in Aquamarine that always make me cry. 1. Jojo talking about love to Aqua on the beach. 2. When Aqua asks Raymond if he loves her and he....Well, just watch Sara's face! That's called acting people! 3. When Claire and Hayley tell Aqua they love her by the buoy. I just well up and weep. And no, I'm not an easy crier. This movie is super sweet and fun and just gets better every time I watch it. Another plus is the great music, it fits really well with the film. A special nod should go to Bruce Spence, i.e. Leonard the mis=understood maintenance man, he's the unsung hero here. Give Aquamarine a chance and keep your cynicism at the door, you'll have a great time. Aqua, Aqua, Aqua!

I saw this movie at the cinema's with some friends. I thought it was going to be really corny and boring, but it actually shocked me how good it was. It was one of the best movies I had seen in a long time because it had great actors and just the whole thing was great. Really anyone could see this movie and like it, and any age. All the actors worked so well together, and there was not a moment where I could say they could have gone back and done it better. I thought the whole storyline and plot was fantastic and parts of the movie made you use your imagination. It had fairytale themes (mermaid) which younger and older kids really enjoy, especially girls. The film looks at the friendships that people have, relationships with boys, and on teenage girls' worries with body image. The message the film is trying to show is that love can be found in many ways and can be found when you don't expect it. The friendship between the girls got closer and closer throughout the movie and it made Hailey decide that her mum deserved to move to Australia, and that friends will always be forever.
