hyped garbage
Good start, but then it gets ruined
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Wind surfer Megan Larson (Courtnee Draper) wants hunky Cutter Colburne. She dreams for her parents to get back together, her little brother Trevor to be nicer, and to be friends with popular girl Heather Hartman. To her dismay, her mother Kathy (Khrystyne Haje) starts going out with the strange Cosmo Cola (Lance Guest) from Yukon who has a weirder daughter Ariel (Tamara Hope). It turns out that they used to be gaseous aliens. Cosmo had escaped from the emperor as a freedom fighter and his wife was lost to the winds.This could have worked with Ariel simply as a fish out of water and Megan as her embarrassed step-sister. The high school drama part of the story is good. The weird CGI alien world is unappealing. They're wasting computer time with that part of the movie. It's more appealing as a described world. The whole alien political intrigue is tiresome. That goes down the wrong track despite the original premise. The visual style is brightly colored and beachy. This is a weird idea that can work but not if it's done this way.
At first I thought this movie was one of those boring, uninteresting movies from what I saw on the commercial. But it turned out to be a really good movie that is very unique, and funny also, great for viewing with the family. The movie is narrated by two girls, so you get both sides of what they are thinking about in the same situation.
This movie was a neat experience. It gave a surreal look into both character's views and left a smile on my face. Also, a great cameo from the girl who played Margie in Zenon, Girl of the 21st Century. I liked how it went back in time, to show how the Yukon's population was low and that weird kid who "skated" down the hill. While it's script was a bit flawed, it had a great payoff. Fun movie!
*****SPOILER WARNING***** This movie was great. It's about a girl named Megan Larson, that's living with her mom, Kathy Larson, and little brother, Trevor Larson, (their mom and dad are divorced). Megan has a normal life, and it's going great until she finds out that her mom has a new boyfriend, Cosmo Cola, that's really weird. As it turns out he has a daughter, Ariel Cola, that's her age. They all get together one night to meet and have dinner. And then, Kathy and Cosmo announce that they're getting married......... Megan and Ariel hate the idea of that, and they don't like each other. Ariel gets the attention that Megan has wanted: be popular at school; and to have her crush, Cutter (played by Tom Wright), to like her. Megan and Ariel put aside their hate for each other in order to work together to stop their parents from getting married................... Well that's all I'm going to say 'cause I don't want to tell you the rest of the movie.Like, what are you waiting for, dude?... LOL 10/10 A+++
