Two teenage girls (Joanna "JoJo" Levesque, Emma Roberts) discover that mermaids really do exist after a violent storm washes one ashore. The mermaid, a sassy creature named Aquamarine (Sara Paxton), is determined to prove to her father that real love exists, and enlists the girls' help in winning the heart of a handsome lifeguard (Jake McDorman).

Critics Consensus

A lighthearted, gum-smacking, boy-crazy film with a hopeful message for young girls.

3/5

This fantasy comedy should entertain its pre-teen female market -- and repel those silly superficial boys (swoon).

For supervising grownups, its giddy leanings will induce seasickness.

It's not going to win an Oscar or anything. But I liked how it was actually made for tween girls.

Somehow everything about this film that should be Y2Cringe instead comes across with just the right combination of sweetness, naiveté, and magic.

3.5/5

The adaptation of Hoffman's slight, breezy novel overcomplicates a lot of elements, including the introduction of a mean girl villain, but its fantasy escapism, mixed with teen feminism and dumb himbo love interest who doesn't save the day, is welcome

Think of this as like combining The Little Mermaid and a teen sappy Disney Channel movie into one and this is what you get. Aquamarine is an okay film but does have it's gullible teen moments. Predictable storyline and almost eerily similar to Disney's Little Mermaid. Cast is okay and it's your average chick flick

Emma Roberts is hot, but this movie was not. Also the movie seemed clunky and amateurish all in order to cater to pre-teen girls, I felt I didn't see much potential in a movie that combines pre-teen girl social lives and marine biology. Aquamarine played out like Unfabulous working as hard as possible to acknowledge the existence of SpongeBob Squarepants.
