	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: AQUAMARINE
		Hailey and Claire find Aquamarine hiding in a building and the latter is happy that she now has a butt and legs (transformed from her mermaid tail) that she turns to show the girls.
		We see Aquamarine in a bubble bath (but don't see anything explicit), with Hailey's legs sticking over the edge to stand in for Aquamarine's (since she has a tail in the bathtub and they can't let Raymond, who's inadvertently walked in with Claire, see that she's a mermaid).
		Aquamarine joins Raymond on his surfboard type flotation device and we see her bare back along with her long hair strategically placed over her presumably bare breasts.

		Aquamarine explains how she has three days to evade an arranged marriage by proving to her dad that "real love" is not a myth.
		Their task is complicated by Aquamarine only sprouting legs in place of her fish tail during daylight hours.
		Its warmly sentimental message aside, "Aquamarine" tends toward the shallow end of the pool with a lightweight script and giggly humor geared to young teens.

		Aquamarine promises them a wish if they help her find true love so the girls, desperate to stay together, help her out.
		This film is probably not a classic or will be fondly remembered in five years but for the audience it is aimed at it succeeds on many levels.
		“Aquamarine” is a great little film if you have girls who are between 8 and 15 but other than that I can’t really recommend it to anyone else.

		Aquamarine (who is played by Sara Paxton is a fantastic actor i reckon)is a mermaid who needs to find love in 3 days or she will be forced to marry some she doesn't wanna get married to.
		The endings are very sweet and aquamarine is just so funny cause she doesn't know much about boys and life on the surface.

		Aquamarine is a feel-good movie aimed at young teenage girls, but from a different demographic I still found it amusing, pleasant, and original enough to keep my interest.
		Aquamarine's father is a leader of the undersea world who has arranged for his daughter to marry a boy whom she doesn't care for.
		However, pretty Aquamarine learns her lessons well enough to make Cecilia (Arielle Kebbel), a mean girl with a crush on Raymond, jealous, leading her into a battle over the young man's affections, which Aquamarine has to win if she wants to avoid a loveless marriage.

	Aquamarine (2006): Reviews
		When Aquamarine falls for a local, hunky lifeguard, she enlists the girls' help to win his heart and in exchange offers to grant the girls one wish.
		Aquamarine will likely please its undemanding tween audience--especially if today's kids are as unsavvy a crew as 20th Century Fox seems to think.
		The film's true focus is the friendship between the two girls, although this tends to get lost between Elizabeth Allen's jittery direction and the screenplay's contrivances.

	Aquamarine - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution movie review \| AccessAtlanta
		Warning: If you're a male between 5 and 95, "Aquamarine," a junior chick flick about two pre-pubescent girls who find and befriend a mermaid, could make you green at the gills.
		However, if 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.
		Based on Alice Hoffman's popular book, "Aquamarine" (Sara Paxton) is a beautiful 18-year-old mermaid who washes up in the swimming pool of a Florida seaside resort after a storm.

	deseretnews.com \| 'Aquamarine' is corny, not awful
		Newcomer Joanna "Jojo" Levesque is one of the stars of "Aquamarine," and she bears a striking resemblance to the younger, "Freaky Friday"-era Lindsay Lohan.
		"Aquamarine" film is not a completely noxious or painful experience, though it's rather juvenile and has a cornball sense of humor that is squarely aimed at its obvious target demographic.
		"Aquamarine" is rated PG for some scattered use of mild profanity (mostly religiously based), some mildly vulgar innuendo and other references, and a few comic pratfalls.

	Review: Aquamarine - Cinematical
		The film, directed by Elizabeth Allen and adapted from the book by Alice Hoffman, is a lot like Practical Magic, another book by the same author, which in 1998 was made into another completely forgettable film starring Sandra Bullock, Nicole Kidman, and a seriously slumming Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing.
		Aquamarine ends up helping the girls as well, as they learn from her what they've been trying to learn from a stack of teen magazines - how to live life to the fullest, overflow with genuine self-confidence, and make a cute boy fall head-over-heels for you in three days.
		Aquamarine isn't as insultingly bad as some films aimed at this target market, but neither is it a film that's going to have any lasting impact (one hopes) on the future generation.

		Aquamarine is a teen movie, and a very sweet one at that.
		Her name’s Aquamarine, and she’s the reason for the storm – she’s angered her dad by refusing to marry the merman he’s picked out for her, because she’s holding out for love.
		Aquamarine got a fair amount of attention at its theatrical release because of Roberts.

		But Aquamarine isn't the only girl in Baybridge who's got her eye on Ryan: Spoiled Paris Hilton-wannabe Cecilia Stone (Arielle Kebbel), who runs with a posse of like-minded mean girls, is determined to reel in Ryan for herself.
		On the one hand, the film celebrates the friendship between smart Claire and tomboyish Hailey, who are determinedly not like Cecilia and her crew.
		And while Aquamarine appears sly and confident while in the water, once on land and in the vicinity of a dreamy boy, she becomes dizzy, dumb and totally at sea.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Aquamarine
		When Claire learns that Aquamarine can grant wishes, she casually asks, "Can you make boobs come out of hiding?" The line registers immediately as comedy, but a deeper scan—in light of the softness with which it's pitched and easily understood—reveals familiar feelings of inadequacy and frustration that trouble young girls.
		The film's pinky, vibrant aesthetic is also in-and-out, and the script doesn't go far enough to differentiate Aquamarine's world from that of her new friends.
		As for film's quaintly surprising finale, don't expect the self-absorbed satisfaction the Duffster contrives for herself in all her films.

	Aquamarine
		Aquamarine is a lightweight junior high "sister/friend" flick.
		Their cries stir up a wicked storm and the next morning they discover Aquamarine, a sassy, naive mermaid (Sara Paxton) on the prowl for Gummi Worms and a boyfriend with legs.
		At times, the film seems as predictable as a Disney sitcom, which makes the surprise ending all the more fun and meaningful.

	AQUAMARINE
		Aquamarine (Sara Paxton) is a super-nubile mermaid who enters the lives of junior high-schoolers Hailey (Joanna Levesque) and Claire (Emma Roberts) in a Florida beachside resort town.
		With great self-sacrifice, the pair decides to help Aquamarine in her romantic quest, while themselves coming to terms with their own problems with parents and personal insecurity.
		Director Elizabeth Allen sets a nicely easy-breezy tone for Aquamarine, but her comic timing is sometimes shaky and she sadly cannot overcome the weaknesses of the script, which dwells too much on Aquamarine's often inane antics while giving short shrift to the development of Hailey and Claire, far more interesting characters.

	SCREEN IT! ARTISTIC REVIEW: AQUAMARINE
		With the former aimed at adults and the latter at young kids, perhaps it's appropriate that the latest mermaid film, "Aquamarine" goes for the middle-ground, namely tween and young teenage girls.
		That's because it's nothing more than a cute and occasionally amusing tale of two 13-year-olds, the mermaid they meet, and their attempts to get a hunky lifeguard to fall in love with the latter so that she'll grant a wish that prevents one girl from moving to Australia with her mother.
		The latter is a one-note caricature and the young actress can't do much with it, but Paxton is likable enough in her role to offset some of the script and directorial problems.

		This signifies that the film rated may contain some material parents might not like to expose to their young children -- material that will clearly need to be examined or inquired about before children are allowed to attend the film.
		They story adds the plot device that Aquamarine can voluntarily transform her fishtail into human legs as long as the sun's up and she stays dry, so the few times we do see her as a full mermaid are very effective.
		Aquamarine is a movie that's never really good or bad, but does manage to be charming when you least expect it to.

		Not only did I laugh at the punny one-liners, I was surprise with the 'girl power' feminist-like message usually reserved for that one Spice Girl movie back in the late 90's and films written by Tina Fey.

		For this violent yet gore-free film, clearly designed for horny teenaged video game wizards, writer-director Kurt Wimmer stages a succession of fight sequences that pit V against helmeted thugs who appear to have raided the Star Wars storm trooper costume closet.

		If we are to follow the emotional heart of Aquamarine, a new film about two thirteen-year-olds who help a runaway mermaid fall in love, the answer isŠbling.
		Aquamarine, as the half-human is called, telegraphs wide-eyed vacuity, and though she displays a few moments of comic inspiration while swinging her long blond hair (and long scaly tail), the film isn't particularly interested in her fish-out-of-water tale until very late in its going.
		There are glimpses of what Hailey will be missing in her interactions with community life, but overall the film's depiction of an American seaside is as evocative as a visit to Wal-Mart's swimsuit display.
