(2011) Blue Crush 2
DRAMA
Straight to rental which is completely unrelated to the first film other than the title and it is also a surfing movie, with a whole new cast which the only thing both films have in common is that they're about surfing. And if you can get pass the mediocre acting then this film is not bad and could've been better had it had a higher budget. It's also a very superficial film when everything works well or neat toward the end, and the approach is not like what one can find in a Disney film since theirs is an occasional swear word or two. Anyways, as I've said I'm able to appreciate it's 'original' story line over the second rate acting starring Sasha Jackson as Dana who happens to be the only daughter of a frequent surfer but had died while Dana was very young. As a result of a disagreement with her father, she then goes on an "odyssey" to surf through all the South African locations her mother had surfed from the pictures mimic her stances including the one she had never succeeded on surfing called "Jeffrey's Bay" or J-Bay for short. Upon her arrival she strikes up a great relationship with an African local calling herself Pushy played by Elizabeth Mathis, who Dana need as a guide to some of the more popular surfing locations throughout Africa. And she strikes up a deal with Dana to train Pushy to be a surfer herself, so that she can make it to the surfing team. This straight to rental is not better than the first one but it's good enough.
