Washington Post
Works on two levels. First, it's a pure celebration of riding the waves. -- Second, Blue Crush is a clear-eyed portrait of the unique kind of power that women possess, a power that shows us that victory doesn't always mean vanquishing someone else. Either way, it's thrilling. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
That's what Blue Crush is getting at: girls going for the gold in a sport that's traditionally been the domain of men. - 75
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
Frankly, with so much to feast my dazzled eyes upon, I barely noticed that the plot was missing in action. And that's because the action itself is so pure. - 75
Chicago Sun-Times
I expected another mindless surfing movie. Blue Crush is anything but. - 63
Baltimore Sun
Blue Crush is such a blast to look at, it seems a shame to talk about its formulaic plot, cliched dialogue and absolute predictability. - 63
Boston Globe
Not the sanctioned wet T-shirt contest you might be anticipating. The Pacific is the hottest body here. And director John Stockwell handles the frivolous material with an integrity that I have to admit I found disappointing. The movie isn't nearly dumb enough to be much beach fun. - 50
Los Angeles Times
Overcomplicates its plot and spends a lot of time floundering around in the shallow end. - 50
Charlotte Observer
When there's no dialogue, this film stays right in the pipeline. When characters open their mouths, it ends up in the tripeline.
