Aquamarine

I went into this endeavor knowing that this was going to be a really cheesy film. On the cheesy scale I would rate this film velveeta. There's something I'll never understand about some Disney films and most films geared towards pre-teens...Why does the dialogue have to be so awful? I can stand a cheesy premise. I'm a fan of "Happily ever after." What I can't stand are lines that are so cheesy that you'd rather shoot yourself than say them in real life. Pre-teens are young, not retarded. What are these writers thinking? I know you're writing for young people, but it doesn't mean that all the opportunities for witty dialogue can be completely ignored. Despite some really painfully awkward lines in the movie, I kind of enjoyed it. It had an unexpected ending. I would not, however, pay to own this film on DVD.

This movie is rated PG and is definitely family-time worthy.
