Synopsis:
AQUAMARINE is the story of Claire (EMMA ROBERTS) and Hailey (JOANNA JOJO LEVESQUE), two 13-year-old best friends who embark on the adventure of their lives when they discover a mermaid (SARA PAXTON) named Aquamarine in a swimming pool. Aquamarine had washed ashore after a big storm battered the small town Florida beach club where Claire lives with her grandparents. Claire and Hailey are trying to come to terms with Hailey's impending departure: She's moving to Australia with her marine biologist mother after this last weekend of the summer.The beautiful, blue-haired, 18-year-old mermaid swam away from home just before her arranged marriage, in search of real love. If she can prove to her father that love is not a myth, he'll let her out of the underwater wedding, but he's only giving her three days. Aqua enlists the help of Claire and Hailey, who are self-styled relationship expertseducated from the pages of magazines that they read and quote daily.Aqua sets her sights on the Capri Club's lifeguard, Raymond Calder (JAKE McDORMAN). And when Aqua promises to grant Claire and Hailey the wish of their choice if they help her reel in Ray, the girls jump at the opportunity because unless something magical happens, Hailey will be moving. Prepping Aquamarine on the finer points of attracting a man is easier said than done. And with mere days until the Capri Club's Last Splash end-of-summer celebration, at which Raymond must profess his love for Aquamarine or no one will get their wish, the girls pool their knowledge and give Aquamarine a crash course in terrestrial romance. The girls hope that as long as Aquamarine can keep her land legs and avoid sprouting her massive, mythological tail, everyone will see their wishes come true. More importantly, they learn some important lessons about the power of friendship, the true magic of love and the importance of standing on your own two feet.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Aquamarine is a mermaid movie for the tweener crowd. Gene Seymour in Newsday writes that it is as sweet and disposable as the gummy snakes its eponymous heroine loves so much. Comments Kyle Smith in the New York Post: This movie's no Little Mermaid and it doesn't make much of a Splash. But it's high-spirited, innocent fun. Melinda Ennis in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution prefaces her review with this warning: If you're a male between 5 and 95, Aquamarine, a junior chick flick about two pre-pubescent girls who find and befriend a mermaid, could make you green at the gills. However, if you are now or ever have been a girl of 8 to 13, you'll be occasionally charmed by the giggly bonds of girlfriends and 'guppie love' the film portrays -- but also occasionally green at the gills. And Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times describes the problem that any reviewer is likely to encounter with the film. I know there's an audience for this movie just as surely as I know I am not that audience, he writes
