This review is from: Beach Girls - The Complete Miniseries (DVD)

Absolutley awesome !! Has everything, romance, intrigue and great acting. Love Rob Lowe and Julia Ormand. The setting is beautiful and really brings me back to being young and enjoying summers at the beach. I watch this about 3-4x a year. So glad that put it for sale on DVD. I was waiting !! If you like great romance stories, this is a must have.......

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the book., June 28, 2010

I ordered this movie because I loved the book. So when saw they made a movie out of the book, I wanted to see it. This movie was nothing like the book. They took some parts of the book but totally changed it around. In the book, Nell is nine, in this movie, Nell is 16. Very disappointed.

This review is from: Beach Girls - The Complete Miniseries (DVD)

I have always enjoyed watching Julia Ormond (maybe because my grandmother's parents were Ormonds, born in Sterling Castle), so when looking for films she was in I came across Beach Girls. The other reviews all made it sound so wonderful, so I purchased it. Much to my disappointment, the movie is more about the teenagers than Rob Lowe's and Julia Ormond's characters--indeed, I would consider their story line to be secondary to that of Chelsea Hobbs' character. But I will admit that when they are on screen I enjoyed their performances and story, and the photography is very good.

Update--1 July 2008: If this review was not helpful to you, I would appreciate learning the reason(s) so I can improve my reviews. My goal is to provide help to potential buyers, not get into any arguments. So, if you only disagree with my opinion, could you please say so in the comments and not indicate that the review was not helpful. Thanks.
