The days are getting longer and the heat is turning up. Most of us have nearly finished our classes this semester and are fighting our way through final exams. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel lazy, hot summer days are, however, still just out of reach. To hold you.
Mermaid movies have a long history, but which are the best of the best? Polygon ranks the 10 best mermaid movies of all time, like The Little Mermaid and Splash.
Now streaming on: Aquamarine is another movie where an event of earth-shaking astonishment takes place, and is safely contained within a sitcom plot. In this case, a mermaid comes ashore at a Florida beach resort, makes friends with two 13-year-old girls, and dates a cute lifeguard. Oh, and of course there s a bitchy blonde with her posse to make life miserable for everybody.
And yet well, the movie is awfully sweet. The young actresses playing eighth-graders look their age, for once, and have an unstudied charm. I know there s an audience for this movie just as surely as I know I am not that audience. It s clever in the way the two heroines get a crush on the lifeguard and then use the mermaid as their designated hitter; they coach her on how to win a boy s attention, and watch fascinated as she dazzles the boy they can only dream about.
