A Fun Surfing Themed Movie
Added 4/12/2008
This is simply a fun movie.
The acting is not too bad. It's light hearted.
Most age groups can relate to it.
If this doesn't bring a smile to your face at some point then there's something wrong with you.

For die-hard McGregor or Zeta-Jones fans only
Added 1/10/2007
This is pure junk food for a "before they were big" look at Ewan McGregor and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Not memorable and with only mildly entertaining moments.

Blue Juice is an absolute classic which sums up the Cornish surfing community very well. The film and countryside is true to Kernow and as a Cornish surfer myself, know alot of people in situations very similar. Although actual footage is limited, its a film about their lives rather than a surfing vid. It is balanced well and is funny, true to life and shows what some of our lives down here are really like.

Good no-brainer

This is a great cute movie if you don't want to have to think too hard. Some classic funny lines, really goofy characters. JC (Sean Pertwee) must prove his worth as a surfer (in England!) where surfing barely exists. Kind of a cute twist on the surfer movies: it's cold and there's really no waves to speak of. But once in a blue moon, these huge waves come in and that is when JC must prove himself. BUT... his girlfriend (Cahterine Zeta-Jones) will disown him if he even tries! So, here lies the issue. Does he pronounce his love and forget the stupid wave, or is he influenced by his childhood friends who care nothing for intimate relationships? Unrealistic, sure. Of course. But cute. Plot is thin, but the characters are memorable and there are some truly classic funny lines. JC's childhood friends (Ewan McGregor, Peter Gunn and Steven Mackintosh) are hilarious characters and are all portrayed very well. Definitely worth the rental price, or buy it used. A couple things I don't understand: WHY ON EARTH IS THE PRICE SO HIGH!?!?! What's up with that? But it used. WHY is Ewan McGregor on the front cover, as if he is the main character? Yes, he plays a pivotal character - JC actually forsakes his love to save Dean's pride and his life. But shouldn't Sean Pertwee be the one on the cover with Catherine Zeta-Jones? As cute as McGregor is, he never looks this clean-cut (or sane) in the movie!

I always made fun of the surfer dudes before seeing Ewan in this movie. I loved the acid trip scene where Ewan gets embarrassed over his friend's behavior although he gave him the acid. Check out the braided hair on Ewan as well and they had a cool song and sock/p*nis scene as well.
