Ramshackle as comedy and mundane as drama, this noisily energetic and splashily - literally - photographed hang-ten flick doesn't wipe out due to spectacular surfing stunts and the fun of seeing McGregor and Zeta-Jones in pre-stardom mode.

What are critics saying?
Although this may sometimes appear to be simply a bawdy soap opera, first-time director Prechezer injects such joie de vivre into proceedings that it scarcely matters.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Prechezer's cast is ingratiating and attractive, and Blue Juice is as buoyant as its terrific rock score.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) by Liam Lacey
The movie seems much, much longer than its 90-minute running time. [15 June 1998]
