Two teenage girls discover that mermaids really do exist after a violent storm washes one ashore. The mermaid, a sassy creature named Aquamarine, is determined to prove to her father that real love exists, and enlists the girls' help in winning the heart of a handsome lifeguard.
Aquamarine isn't good enough to be a teen classic, but its audience will leave the theater happy.

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

This film is entirely harmless. It's utterly forgettable.

This movie, in fact, is all about conformity.

Unfortunately, the performances are often clunky and the art direction and CG are wanting, so anyone over the age of eight is likely to find it cheap around the edges. One for very little mermaids.
