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.

Plot summary
Directed by: Elizabeth Allen, Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum
Starring: Emma Roberts, Sara Paxton, Jake McDorman, JoJo
About two best friends, Haley (JoJo) who is moving to Australia because of her mother's work, and Claire (Emma Roberts), who is afraid of the water because her parents drowned on a boat. Claire lives with her grandparents. They find a mermaid, Aquamarine, after a storm that came after a wish that Claire and Haley made at a sleepover they had. Aqua explains to them that if they help a mermaid, you get a wish as long as the wish doesn't violate the laws of nature. They agree thinking that they'll use it to make Haley stay in Bay Bridge.
Aqua wants to fall in love. Her father thinks love doesn't exist and down in the ocean, the mermen pick who their daughters marry. Aqua has three days to prove that love does exist or she'll be forced to marry a blowfish. Aqua picks to fall in love with Bay Bridge's beach club's hottie, Raymond, but Cecelia will do anything to stop her. Haley and Claire help her learn how to make Raymond fall in love her, but in the end, it won't work. He wants more time. Cecelia comes and pushes her off the pier and she falls into a whirlpool that her dad created to bring her back. Her tail pops out because of the water and Raymond sees it.
Haley and Claire go in to save Aqua and Aqua explains to them that they don't get their wish because Raymond doesn't love her yet. Haley didn't want to use the wish on her staying because she realised how much her mom has worked for that job. They tell Aqua that they love her and the storm created by Aqua's father, goes away. They make a wish to keep Aqua with them, but she says she can't but will try to visit. Claire is happy because she faced her fear of the water for Aqua, but Haley still has to go to Australia. They remember that they still have their wish.

Aquamarine: Wow Raymond, you're really good. Bye.
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: Before Aquamarine showed up, Claire's grandmother told the girls that there was going to be a storm. Later, the girls learn that the storm that night was caused by Aquamarine's father getting angry. How did Claire's grandmother know that there was going to be one, unless she knows Aquamarine's father?
Answer: Because caused by mythical sea-dwellers or not, storms always have telltale signs beforehand, like darkening skies, or the wind changing temperature and strength.
This does not answer the question in the context of the movie. A fantasy situation is happening in a fantasy movie. The realistic answer is not necessarily the correct one.

Answer: Most likely, Aquamarine and her father had argued multiple times, about her not wanting marry the boy that he chose for her. She was going against tradition. Claire's grandmother probably saw storm signs caused by an earlier argument. Then Aquamarine's father got angry enough to make the big storm.
