Directed by: Elizabeth Allen, Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum
Starring: Emma Roberts, Sara Paxton, Jake McDorman, JoJo
Factual error: When Cecelia and her friends are in the car, following Aquamarine, Hailey, and Claire to the water tower, they aren't that far away - probably less than thirty feet - yet the other girls don't hear their car approaching.
Factual error: The film is based in Florida but several scenes show rocky cliffs and hills not native to the area.
Continuity mistake: When Cecilia is at the water tower looking for Aquamarine, one or both of her earrings are missing. when she gets back to the beach party she now has both of them on.
Aquamarine: Starfish may be huge suck ups. But they never lie.
Trivia: Throughout the movie, Aquamarine is always eating salt and putting salt in strange things like ice cream. To film these scenes, they had the actress, Sara Paxton, eat sugar instead.
Question: I'm confused about the ending. Aquamarine didn't find romantic love, but she did find friendship love with Claire and Hailey. However, doesn't Aquamarine's father already believe in family or friendship love? He obviously cares about Aquamarine, since he was angry when she ran away, and he and her mother named her after a "rare and precious gemstone".
Answer: Many people treat their children like possessions. You would be angry if your TV disappeared, but that doesn't mean that you love it like it was your child.
Answer: I think her father's anger was more specific: she refused to marry the boy that he wanted her to marry, as was their custom. He probably agreed to the deal - her finding love in three days - because he expected her to fail anyway. Then she actually made some progress by developing a friendship with two humans. Apparently this made an impression on her father, even if she didn't find romantic love.
