Highly Overrated But Still Good

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

I personally felt that the movie was absolutely worth watching. JoJo and Roberts' friendship was very lovely. Even though the trailer looked much more promising, the movie was OK except for being a bit slow. The idea that love could be found in friends is admirable. I think it is a perfect movie to watch with friends.

In a Florida beach resort town, Claire (Emma Roberts) and Hailey (Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque) are best of friends. And after this summer season, one will move to Australia with her parents. After a big storm, they find mermaid Aquamarine (Sara Paxton) in the hotel pool. She promises them a wish if they help her prove to Neptune love exists. So the girls set out to set up Aquamarine with the local lifeguard.This is a sweet film. There is some fun in Sara Paxton as a mermaid. But it's the two girls who sell this movie. They have good chemistry together. It's a simple movie, and not much more.

Really this Movie is So Funny!!! I was watching TV and there was nothing and I was tired, so I just put this movie on, because it is Humor in it (said the TV Gids). It is really a good movie, because it had a lot of funny moments in it. But I know a lot of people didn't like it because it is a movie intended for Girls, but I am a boy and I still liked it, ha ha. But I know the point from other people who don't like the movie and it is also a little bit childish :P But It doesn't matter for me.So I you want a movie, what is easy to watch and it must also be funny!!! then you need to watch this movie!!!!!!

Emma, born 10th February 1991, is unusual as what I have seen of hers are all nice roles. Well, sort of.Blow (2001), her second by IMDb order, way too scary for me. A biography of a drug smuggler, a story that has high energy all through the first half, then his marriage and the birth of a daughter marks the turning point with his world falling to pieces and by the time that she is ten he is in jail for life, rule of 3. This echoes elements of other stories such as Nicole Kidman's Nightmaster (1987), but is way too much about reality for such as smaller scale individuals such as underclass. Good girl Emma in a true to life story that is much too difficult for me to like. I have only seen it the once, the first half was very watchable, it is very available on DVD.Grand Champion (2001), her third, is dedicated to mums. I guess that some of those who have kids that are under the age of 12 might easily like this a lot first time round, want to re-watch it occasionally with their kids, too. I found it difficult first viewing as the language feels to be more geared to the under 12's. Re-watching, it then soon got to be rather okay. Emma comes across well in this, a sweetie who is really, really nice. The action centres around her brother and his pet and his friend and some puzzles that they have to find solutions for. ER in her first singing role.BigLove (2001), her first, by IMDb order, as a ten minute short that I have not been able to find, yet, on DVD. Two kids needing to go to school, just the parents are a problem. This sounds as if it tries to say something modern. As it is a short it might have been filmed after the other two of 2001.Spymate (2004) At August 2009 this is region 1 NTSC and UK prices are usually a bit above My Price, but not always. A goodies v baddies comedy where it is mostly only the baddies who have a humour that might appeal to older kids. Emma as the straight guy in the middle of this. A feature that gets poor reviews as many under 8ish do not write reviews. So, I can sort of like this though I do find it weak.Drake and Josh, she is in one episode, Honor Council (2004), which seems to be at the end of season 2. The only episode of D and J that I have I could not relate to. Could be that it is best for under 12's who are male.Unfabulous (2004+) Getting to know it this feels like highs and lows. Some excellent episodes and some rather weak. It is nothing like what I had expected and some detail in the series is echoed in later features. This feels like Emma's main training ground for acting skills, essential viewing for some fans. Akin to The Amanda Show for Bynes? Aquamarine (2006). I knew that this was really big in girl world, the under 12's, when it came out. The start shows real power, Emma and JoJo on the beach and showing how they relate to it all. Florida, sunny beach, summer holidays, their skin modestly covered. I needed a few viewings in order to properly like this modest story. Do that, I can appreciate that those under 12's who raved on about Aquamarine had sense that I can accept as sense. Most IMDb comments on this are not by those for whom this was made. The kid who took his little sister to see Aquamarine was giving her a remarkable gift as it was one that she loved.Nancy Drew (2007). Nicely nice girl, so pure and sweet. I could like this straight away and the car chase after the explosion had so much in the way of extras for pondering on ways of the nice, stuff that I now get tangled by paradox by. This might be the most accessible Emma Roberts of her earliest work.So there is later stuff. Wild Child (2008) has ER acting at age 16 as a 16 and it is so vastly different to the earlier works, though bad girl Harriet does get the start of a Blow. Could be that ER features might have variety.Other early stuff. At least two small parts as an extra or cameo. 2001 America's Sweethearts and 2002/3 Lizzie McGuire series 2-26, A Gordo Story. America's Sweethearts, a parody title as this has elements of Blow, Emma is in the background of Kiki's egg breakfast scene where love is starting to be real, though with a survivable tidal wave of putridity still to arrive, Blow was less survivable. 2-26, Gordo has been turned down by a cutie because he is so small, but he has the qualities for bouncing back. Then the dance and Emma is looking forlorn, bouncing up and down in the background, way behind Ethan. The dance has a certain tragedy. Still, in Champion she was a sweetie and in Nancy she was nice girl, in the others an in-between-ie. The later: Wild Child as comedy that I consider to be true horror, old world v new world as different modes of creeping death.Several Emma Roberts features include some information about the filming dates. Potentially useful if one is a fan. With this I am trying to arrange the entries in the order of the filming dates.
