Desertman84 Blue Crush 2 is a direct-to-video surfer film that is a sequel to Blue Crush. The screenplay is unrelated to the original movie. It features Sasha Jackson, Elizabeth Mathis, Ben Milliken, Sharni Vinson.Mike Elliott directs the the film.Frustrated with her privileged life in California, Dana has decided to run away to South Africa to find her late mother's spirit on the waves, embarking on a surfing trip to a foreign land. There she meets Pushy, a like-minded surfing soul who offers the brash blonde a place to stay when her belongings are stolen. Greeted by a community of surfers and beach bums, Dana finds love with singer and animal sanctuary volunteer Tim, rubs rival Tara the wrong way, and is targeted as an object of lust by shop owner Grant. With her water skills tested and her heart aching, Dana finds the trip refreshing her soul, while her nosy behavior uncovers a few ugly secrets held by the locals.What is rather ironic about a surfing movie is the fact that it doesn't actually feature an overwhelming amount of surfing footage as it prefers to deal with painful melodramatic detours like involving Tara's disapproval, Pushy's surfing fears, and Dana's father, who's come to South Africa to find his wayward daughter. It is packed with plot that is basically unnecessarily padding the run time to fulfill a full cinematic meal. Simplicity is lost, along with any entertainment value, as Elliot labors over moronic conflicts while supplying disappointingly routine surfing footage. What is so sad is the fact that the movie would rather spend time on formulaic plots and clichés rather than spend time with outdoor surfing.

Jens Wegar You've got a bunch of barely out of high school kids living the life out in Africa. A surfer movie, which still tries to put in a bit of crime solving, a bit of a road trip, a bit of a love triangle and a bit of family drama. The acting in many parts was pretty mediocre, only a few highlights in there. Especially one scene where the father argues with the daughter sounds so rehearsed it's just ends up feeling weird. Another one was the in a tryout for a sponsorship contract in which the commentators sounded so bored you wondered if they hadn't been given their dose of Red Bull. The only thing this movie is consistent about is the use of music in almost every scene. There is no surprise in how the movie plays out, but on the other hand I guess it doesn't really try to be anything other than what it is: a feel good surfer movie. If you're into surfing you'll have loads of scenery to watch, and probably also get quite a bit of inspiration out of the waves. Others may just as well come up with something else to watch.

Anna Johnson I wasn't expecting much for this movie; however, as I watched my expectations lowered very quickly. The acting is sub-par, as is the plot in general. The plot is not very complex; although by seeing the commercial for this film that secret is already blown off. It seemed as if the directors just plucked outgoing teenagers from the region where they were supposed to be from, shoved them into bikinis, gave them a script, and then recorded.The most frustrating quality of this movie is the volume. It frequently fluctuated from a soft whisper to an extremely loud burst of sound. Around every 2-3 minutes I had to adjust the volume. Hardly any redeeming qualities. I turned it off after about 60 minutes. Did not like this movie.

ben-117-683637 Blue Crush 2 isn't an imitation of Blue Crush.It is an entirely different story.Blue Crush 2 is a traveling/coming of age story. A young surfer girl goes to South Africa to follow in her mother's footsteps and in the process find herself.The acting isn't great. But that isn't the point is it? The movie is about surfing and traveling to great surf spots in South Africa.Yes it is a cheap direct to video sequel. They don't have the budget of the original and they don't have the same star power as Kate Bosworth and Michelle Rodriguez. However is the movie still enjoyable? Does it tell a good story? Do you enjoy the surf scenes? Do you enjoy meeting her "beach family"?I think so. Perhaps it is because I wasn't looking for an Oscar caliber film. Perhaps it is because I wasn't even looking to replace Blue Crush and I'm not offended that Kate Bosworth isn't in it (the other reviewer obviously is crushing on Kate badly.) Perhaps it is because I've gone through my own life change recently and am envious of our lead character's ability to travel South Africa and surf the legendary surf spots.The movie for me, is good fun, and helps me keep "life" in perspective.I'm looking to start my "Odyssey" soon.
