The Guardian

Just because you're a tweenie doesn't mean you're an idiot: but that's how this demographic gets treated in a silly and lame comedy about two girls who discover a mermaid called Aquamarine. This creature offers to grant them a wish if they will help with her romantic designs on a human hottie lifeguard. The girls gigglingly agree, despite having a crush on him themselves, thus relinquishing their claims to being actively sexual players - an important consideration for the 8-12 target audience - contenting themselves with vicarious, but wholesome romantic-fantasy thrills.
