| Independent Online (South Africa)Theresa SmithAny sense of flair introduced by the surfing scenes is undone by the clichéd story. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesMary HoulihanThe Perfect Wave is aimed at a certain audience that will appreciate its message and let slide its deficiencies. |
| Washington PostStephanie MerryThe movie’s transition from surfer flick to a story about faith is swift and not particularly smooth. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJustin LoweCommercial director Bruce Macdonald’s first feature film feels curiously inert. |
| User ReviewKatherine SExcellent movie with good storyline. Beautiful scenery too! |
| User ReviewMaria NExcellent quality filming. Generally, poor acting. Moral of the romance part of the story (i.e. Annabel) = don't "fall in love" with strange pu$$y. Overall, it doesn't diminish the true message of the movie. |
| User ReviewThomas Pdidn't realize this was a true story. but nonetheless it was still a sappy portrayal of his testament. "hollywood" version of it all. no doubt of the events. couldn't have come at a better time |
| User ReviewJua-Mari MThis is possibly the very worst movie I have ever seen. The camerawork is terrible. It was awkward and there was no movement. There were too many static shots. The scenes were awkward. The sound was terrible. Bad mistakes were made like not mixing properly or not adding atmosphere. Voices were overdubbed and you could really tell because they didn't bother to add background sounds in. I've seen many student projects with much better sound. The story bears almost no resemblance to the story on which it is based. Listening to a 5 minute clip of the man on who the story is based is much better. That's pretty bad considering that they used an incredible amount of resources to make a feature. Most of the film is spent surfing all over the world, which isn't entirely integral to the story and probably cost a lot of unnecessary money. The cast seemed universally terrible, which would indicate that the directing wasn't great. Some of the cast members weren't actors and you could really tell. There's really no reason to watch this movie, not even if you are a Christian hoping to support the Christian filmmakers and cast of the movie. The movie makes Christians out to be hippy freaks that just read You Version and lose all interest in the activities that they love. This movie certainly did more harm than good to Christianity. |
| User ReviewMike Ctake all the worst acting ever and put it into one film and you have The Perfect Wave. Very disappointing film spolit by very amateurish acting. |
