Hailey's mom insists and they are to leave in a few days. Hailey does not want to go and wishes she could stay in Florida with Claire and her grandparents. Life is going along great until Hailey's mom, a marine biologist, decides that they are moving to Australia. Director Elizabeth Allen (first film) has made a feel-good film for young girls and their parent will be happy about the messages included in the film.Ĭlaire (Emma Roberts – Spymate, Blow) and Hailey (JoJo Levesque – RV) are best friends and spend their time in the summer at the beach watching their crush, lifeguard Raymond (Jake McDorman – first feature film). It is probably the most important role in the film and she was a little weak.
The friendship between Claire and Hailey is accurately portrayed by the two young actresses, but I have to say that I was fairly disappointed with Sara Paxton's portrayal of the mermaid. Actually, come to think of it, that is an important message for females of any age. Though the film does show the superficialness of girls that age it also leaves them with the all-important message of how important friendship is and that it should not be jeopardized in the pursuit of a boy. It has all the elements (being boy crazy, friendship, giggling, and dealing with mean 'cool' girls) that girls that age can relate to. I cannot picture anyone else but pre-pubescent girls being interested in the film. This is an example of a film that is targeted towards a particular sex and age category. If you are the parent of an 11-13 year old girl and need something to entertain them for a couple of hours then Aquamarine is the film for you.
