Description of Aquamarine:
The sun, the sand, and a sweet sassy mermaid--what more could any young girl want from summer? Claire (Emma Roberts, Nancy Drew: The Mystery in Hollywood Hills) and Hailey (JoJo, R.V.) go giddy at the sight of hunky lifeguard Raymond (Jake McDorman). When a storm washes a mermaid named Aquamarine (Sara Paxton, Sleepover) into a swimming pool, Claire and Hailey agree to help her find love--even if it's with Raymond--because Aquamarine will grant them a wish that will keep Hailey from having to move away to Australia. Parents of preteen girls may approach Aquamarine with dread, but the movie's formulaic beginnings are given a heartening twist; the movie starts by wallowing in Cosmogirl-fueled boy-craziness, but finishes as an unexpectedly touching paean to friendship (with some surprisingly down-to-earth suggestions about romance). Roberts and JoJo are a charming duo, eager to be older than they are, but in the end growing up no faster than they need to. Also featuring Bruce Spence, known to some viewers as the Gyro Captain from The Road Warrior and to others as the voice of a shark in Finding Nemo. --Bret Fetzer

ChickFlick for 12 yr old Daughter 
2008-03-04 - I don't count. I'm the Dad. So, my eyes rolling matched her pre-teen eyes rolling, but it's a cute movie. If you got to watch one of these with your pre-teen daughter, might as well be this one.
She loved it, and has watched it several times. Once was enough for Dad. haha!
But then, I'm "OLD".
*Good + Fun Movie*

Want a Sea-quel!
2007-12-08 - Aquamarine is geared for pre-teens, but any mom who remembers being enchanted with mermaids will find this film a guilty pleasure. The story is somewhat of an homage to Splash, the mermaid blockbuster of the 80's. The same storyline is carried out as a siren lass falls in love with a man, and must keep her tail dry, or her secret will be revealed. Part of the Disney Little Mermaid story is also recycled, as Aquamarine is rebelling against her father.
In Aquamarine, two young friends are enjoying their last summer together. One girl is getting ready to move to Australia. They make a wish that she could stay. Suddenly, an ocean storm moves in. Washed up is their new friend, dippy, ditzy, sunny, and bold Aquamarine, as cute as can be. She falls fin-over-heels for the lifeguard that every girl is pining for, including the leader of a gang of bad girls.
Really cute, recommend to boy-crazy young girls and anyone who once wanted to be a mermaid.
