movie review: rip girls



YESSS!!! A surfing classic. hahaa. I grew up watching this movie on the Disney Channel and can remember dreaming up the day when I could move to hawaii and play in the water all day and then venture off to a tucked away house in the mountains of oahu only to drink pineapple juice and ride horses. This movie chronicles a young girl names Sydney who moves to Hawaii because of her father's job. She moves with her father and step mother, for her real mother passed away when she was younger. Her mother actually grew up on the island, and movie back to hawaii reconnected sydney to her mother and to a past that had been hidden from her for her whole life. 

I love this movie because it is cheesy. I love this movie because it is about surfing. I love this movie because every 10 year old girl wants to be sydney! 
The best scene of this movie is when sydney's friend come to her window late at night and sneak her out. Everyone is having party and nigh surfing to welcome in the whales that come once a year, and she hears a story told by one of the elders. I just love the culture and the hawaiian feel of this movie...rip  girls for life!

  1. So what did you do, spend like two whole days just watching surfing movies and posting on your blogsite? I checked in just on the off chance something new might pop up, and ended up wondering, "hey, isn't this the girl that was supposed to be cramming for finals and such?"
