JC is at the end of his Twenties and is living with his girlfriend Chloe in Cornwall. Three of his friends from school show up, including Terry who is about to get married. While he is supposed to have the last good time in his life, Josh tries to figure out what type of music he likes, which is odd because he's a music producer, and Dean, who sells drugs on a regular basis, must face the fact that life is not one big party. But JC has his own problems with Chloe: Will he stay with her and run a surfer coffee shop or travel around the world without her?It's another Brit movie about life lessons, turning the dreaded thirty mark (which honestly, isn't that bad), and figuring your goal, or aim in life.But wasn't everything that came out of Britain in the mid nineties about life changes and coming to terms with maturity?We had This Life, Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Game on, Cold Feet, and everything Richard Curtis did. This is just another in the long line of this sub genre, but we have the added bonus of a couple of surfing scenes.Unfairly tagged as a Zeta Jones movie on initial release, Pertwee is brilliant, and outshines everyone else in the film. Zeta Jones is good, but she was still, ahem, riding the wave of The Darling Buds Of May.Macgregor is as impressive as expected, but hey oh, when the US released the DVD, they tagged it as a film starring Macgregor, and Zeta Jones. Look at the DVD cover, it's blooming terrible.Its ninety minutes of throwaway stuff, Agutter pops up in a bizarre cameo, and come the end, well, everyone has found themselves.OK for people who like forgotten Brit movies.....l

If you've never been surfing in cornwall, and if you think that in order for a film to be funny it has to have Ben stiller in it, then perhaps the humour in Blue juice is a bit above you! Who cares if Zita jones and McGreggor haven't got main parts, Blue Juice is wicked, great to get you in the mood for a cornwall trip, great to quote with your mates and great because zita jones dances infront of a fridge in her pants... Just watch it... If you love it then you know that you are a good person with a sense of humour and if you don't... then don't slag it off, its not your fault just go and watch meet the fockers and keep your opinions to yourself.

I chose this movie by the cover which was a bad move. It wasn't funny at all and the main characters were obnoxious. The girl was beautiful but the story and the acting were terrible. It had absolutely nothing to do with surfing. Terrible movie with a surf "theme" that had nothing to do with surfing and no real surfers. Catherine Zeta Jones was beautiful and the movie will probably see a resurgence just becuase she is in the limelight now, being married with Gordon Gekko and all, but if you haven't seen it don't waste your time. A bad movie with GREAT surfing, REAL surfers and AMAZING, BEAUTIFUL cinematography was IN GOD'S HANDS.

It is customary, in a surf movie, to use footage from at least similar locations for a single ride. For a character sketch the characters were a little flat. For a bit of afternoon fluff the movie was a little inane. All in all quite a long vehicle for 5 minutes of laughter.
