Leave your thoughts about Aquamarine.
| Common Sense MediaCynthia FuchsDespite its narrative awkwardness, the film comes up with a terrific ending, underlining the importance of the girls' friendship over stereotypical romance. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongIt's hopeful, it's healthy, it squeals in all the right places and it offers proof positive that being stuck up is a bad thing. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfAquamarine is a frothy, cute feature film that (for at least a good 70 minutes) should be painless for adults, and manna from heaven to girls. |
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionMelinda EnnisIf you are now or ever have been a girl of 8 to 13, you'll be occasionally charmed by the giggly bonds of girlfriends and 'guppie love' the film portrays -- but also occasionally green at the gills. |
| Sean the Movie GuySean McBridean utterly disposable, yet thoroughly charming piece of bubblegum pop aimed squarely at pre-teen girls |
| Empire Magazine AustralasiaLuke GoodsellLittle girls and salty sea dogs alike have long been held in thrall to the mermaid's siren song; in Aquamarine, based on Alice Hoffman's book, the ladyfish finds herself awash in the low tide of teen romantic comedy. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanThe film robs mermaids of everything exotic and remarkable about them in mythology. |
| Worcester Telegram & GazetteDaniel M. KimmelFor girls of a certain age, this is an ideal movie. Older viewers able to check their worldly cynicism at the door should have a good time too. |
| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorUndemanding, unsurprising and really quite charming within conventional limits, Elizabeth Allen’s tween-coming-of-age feature debut is as realist as can be, given that, of the three nice Florida girls who need to grow up in the movie, the eponymous heroine (Sara Paxton) is a high-achieving blond mermaid with vaguely feminist leanings, a twitchy blue tail and the comic timing of an up-and-coming Cameron Diaz. |
| San Francisco ChronicleRuthe SteinThe movie has a sweetness and innocence that makes it near perfect entertainment for its target audience. |
