Critic Reviews

Ruthe Stein

The movie has a sweetness and innocence that makes it near perfect entertainment for its target audience. Read full review

Joe Leydon

Result is an unusually likeable family-friendly comedy. Read full review

Staff [Not Credited]

Despite corny one-liners and plot developments that don't always hold water, Aquamarine rises above the flotsam filling theaters this time of year with a likable tale of friendship and charming performances. Read full review

M. E. Russell

This is a totally predictable exercise if you're not in the target market. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

Aquamarine is better than nothing for its woefully underserved audience. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Aside from an inspired bit involving a pair of sycophantic starfish, it's amazing how unimaginative a movie about a mermaid can be, and it's sad how thoroughly its girl-power stylings devolve into a muddle of mixed messages. Read full review

Carrie Rickey

It would seem that Allen and screenwriters John Quaintance and Jessica Bendinger couldn't decide between making a movie about the summer that 'tweens become teens or "Scenes From a Mal"l for the MTV set. Read full review

An absolute masterpiece! Direction, writing, technicals... but the acting! Everyone was superb. But Sara Paxton in particular gave one of the best performances I have ever seen. Subtle, heartbreaking, raw, real, emotional... if she doesn't win the Oscar it will be a huge travesty. An absolute masterpiece! Direction, writing, technicals... but the acting! Everyone was superb.

Easily the performance of the decade, but I would go further and say it is the best performance of all time.… Expand

To be fair, I went to see the movie with my 2 daughters ( 7 and 10 ) and they would have given this movie a 9... A good saturday afternoon / summer type tween movie, cute, no surprise, fluffy and with 2 girls that cant wait to see this movie again on DVD.

Emma Roberts, Jojo, and Sara Paxton are pretty good as the leads, but overall, Aquamarine is one of those films that can best be described as mediocre.

Predictable young teenage stuff going on. Flirting with the boys, being an outcast and meeting mermaids. We've all been there. Despite the whole mermaid angle, it's surprisingly devoid of any magic or fantasy.

Emma Roberts and JoJo are so ugly and can't act ! The only reason that Emma is in films is because she is related to Julia Roberts, and I don't even know how JoJo made it big because she can't sing.
