A big, sexy, sun-splashed thrill ride, is what a summer movie ought to be: not totally mindless, but more interested in jangling your nerves than engaging your brain.

Fun and frivolous, packed wave to wave with gorgeous young creatures reveling in their physical prowess.

For the most part, the action, shot entirely on Hawaii's famed North Shore without blue screens or tanks, is awesome, all swirling turquoise tubes, thundering foam hammers and sleek, graceful riders.

Don't forget the waves. They're the stars of this show, and Blue Crush smartly never lets you forget it.

If you can simply get lost in the crushing splendor of the waves themselves, the script might not leave you so seasick.

I'm sure that an interesting film could easily be made about girl surfers, this just ain't it.
