Highly Overrated But Still Good

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Don't Believe the Hype

"Desert Blue", the nickname of a central character, tells of a handful of young adults in a ramshackle desert town who have too much time and too little to do with it. The film is long on talent but so short on story one can only wonder how it ever got into production much less distribution. Slow, monotonous, boring, and dumb, "Desert Blue" is one of those B-flicks which one watches with detachment always cognizant of the fact the characters are actors going through the motions required for their paycheck. For fans only. (C)

I'd like to preface any comments with the fact that i liked this movie. It was a good watch, and i really enjoyed it. I was never much of a kate hudson fan, but after watching this one it's impossible not to love that girl :o)I can't stand the people on imdb that write these over-analytical, hollywood bullsh*t analyses; so i'll keep this one simple and to the point: Solid romantic plot, fun dialogue, and interesting characters. I also had fun recognizing some of the people in this film who play lesser roles, who are more notable from other movies/tv shows (i.e. "darlene" from roseanne, peter mcallister--the dad from home alone, and the head fbi agent--from starship troopers just to name a few). I don't want to brand any of these actors with these roles; it's just that i'd find myself watching and go: I know that person!Well, that's all i got here...give it a watch :o)

I've recently seen this movie on TV and I remembered to comment it for IMDb. The movie has a good story and is very well conducted by this Morgan Freeman, the cast is also great: Christina Ricci and some brothers of great stars (Richmond Arquette is one of the Arquette Brother, Casey Affleck, younger brother of Ben Affleck) that also act great, although not as well as they expert brothers and sisters. Kate Hudson's character, Skye, is very interesting and she had a great start and she liked her teammates so much that she (she meet Casey Affleck and Christina Ricci again in "200 cigarettes"). The funniest scenes of the movies are the blasts, and the most touching is the water running in the end. This movie may be forgotten in a couple of years, but I know that everyone that as an almost impossible dream like the sea in the desert will remember this story after achieving that dream.

I found this movie to be okay. The story line was pretty good. The acting was fairly good. It may prove to be a training film for some promising young actors. Being from the east coast, it gave an interesting depiction of what it's like to live in a small, desert town.
