Monday's Movie - Aquamarine

I saw a totally girlie movie this past week (since I've been busy with the moving, I haven't had a ton of time to watch movies, so this will have to do for my MM). I don't usually pick up these kind of flicks, it is just that as a "young adult" librarian, I need to familiarize, you know?!? Anyway, I saw Aquamarine, which is based on a book by Alice Hoffman. Yup, total chick flick. Lots of giggling and girlie magazine reading but if you can get past all that, it was actually a cute movie! (Or maybe I am just totally losing it. It's one or the other.)

It is about these two friends making a wish and learning to make good choices and be more self-reliant. One has a fear of the water and the other fears her move to Australia. Their wish becomes realized in this mermaid chick who arrives, pulling a Little Mermaid runaway scheme. Anyway, it's cute. If nothing else, I enjoyed the fact that "Aquamarine," the mermaid, used a baggy aqua-colored shirt, tied up several different ways, as her costume for practically the whole movie. Now THAT is some creative costuming! Now on to Buffy!
