An excuse for lengthy scenes of attractive young women in bikinis surfing.

Blue Crush, directed by John Stockwell, is a latter-day Puberty Blues without that film's sense of humour, and it seems to be mainly an excuse for lengthy scenes of attractive young women in bikinis surfing those Hawaiian waves. The plot doesn't amount to much, and Michelle Rodriguez, who was good in Girlfight, is wasted in a nothing role here. Kate Bosworth shows talent both as actress and as surfer as Anne Marie, but it's a bit disappointing to see cinematic fakery obviously used in some of the surfing sequences.
