The mermaid, a sassy creature named Aquamarine, is determined to prove to her father that real love exists, and enlists the girls' help in winning the heart of a handsome lifeguard. Although next time, I think I'll pick the movie.Two teenage girls discover that mermaids really do exist after a violent storm washes one ashore. All in all, it wasn't a great movie, but it picks up in the second half and finishes well, so it was a pretty decent way to spend almost two hours on a cold Saturday afternoon. I wasn't expecting much from Sara Paxton (the titular mermaid Aquamarine) judging by the painful "I see we're going to have to take this slow: Mer Maid" in the trailers, but she ended up doing okay. Aquamarine Two 12-year-olds get more than they bargained for when they discover sassy mermaid Aquamarine lolling at the bottom of their beach clubs pool, having come ashore to search for true love. And I was extremely, pleasantly surprised. I knew it wasn't exactly fair writing her off for being a singer, but that's what I did. I wasn't expecting much out of JoJo (bold and strong Hailey) at all. Her over-the-top mugging drives me insane. I thought her early Unfabulous days were good, but now I can barely stand to watch the show. I think Emma Roberts (timid and diminutive Claire) may be a rare star who started out acting fairly well and is getting worse. But in the end I stayed for the movie, giving me plenty of time to think over my criticisms. I must admit I was much more entertained with thinking of ways that I could sneak in to The Hills Have Eyes, which was playing at the theater across from ours. The movie starts off extremely slow and was, in my opinion, painful to watch. So fifteen dollars later we were all nestled in. I was pushing for Failure to Launch or She's the Man, but my sister was determined to see Aquamarine. I promised my sister I would take her to a movie for her birthday and buy her popcorn a few weeks ago, and today was the day we settled on.
