Pharmagrip Duo Mermaid Commercial

I'm not really sure what this commercial was saying, nor do I really understand the concept.
The girl who played the mermaid can swim really well, and I loved the color of her tail!
Check it out merfolk!

This was pretty cute :)
I think I read somewhere that mermaids love fruits of land. Take a look to what she prefers instead!

The mermaid in this was breathtakingly gorgeous, and I thought this would be a cute ending... however, it was actually gruesome and grossed me out!
Take a look, Merfolk!

Comcast Merman Commercial

Although I thought it was weird that mermen were randomly thrown into this commercial, I love how natural the tails look. I also loved the little flipping motion their tails make!

Colgate Mermaid Commercial

Although mermaids are briefly seen in this commercial, they're tails are very graceful and pretty!
I thought the song to this commercial was annoying though, so beware!

Chicken Of The Sea Mermaid Commercial

*please note: I do not support eating seafood anymore, especially Tuna, a species that is becoming endangered*

I wish they used a real mermaid for this commercial that looked like the logo for Chicken Of The Sea. Her tail is pretty though :)

Barbie: The Pearl Princess Movie

Rating: NR (very clean Barbie movie!)
Run Time: 74 minutes

Lumina and Delphin
Summary(amazon.com):
Barbie stars as Lumina, a mermaid who dreams of being a princess. As long as she can remember, she’s had a magical power that makes pearls dance and glow! Lumina, and her best friend Kuda, a pink seahorse, embark on an adventure to a majestic mer-kingdom. There, she uses her powers to help her friends prepare for the Royal Ball. Lumina then discovers that her magical pearls are the key to unlocking her true destiny and ultimately saving the kingdom.


My Review:
I was so excited when this movie came out, especially since it's been a while since Mattel came out with another mermaid Barbie movie. As soon as this movie began to play, I was in complete awe... the colors, the artwork... it felt like I was underwater! They even got the sounds of being underwater perfectly! I loved this new character Lumina. She is very innocent and beautiful, and it is clear she will do anything to help the ones she loves. Her new seahorse friend, Kuda, is also pretty funny! I also loved the mermaid city. It reminded me of the hustle and bustle of Manhattan, but full of breathtaking mermaids! I also thought the hair salon was pretty cute, and I loved seeing the mermaids get dolled up for the big party at the end.


Lumina and her parents
The main concept, or lesson that really stood out to me was people will stop at nothing for power and wealth, and it is up to people like Lumina, people with good intentions and love, to stop them. I also loved the music, which will be featured on this blog soon! The only two things that annoyed me about this movie was (yes, I know it's a Barbie movie) everything, was pink, not just pink, but hot pink! It started to give me a headache after a while; pink tail, pink castle, pink coral, pink Kuda!
Also, I didn't find much of a personality in Lumina compared to other Barbie characters, such as Merliah from Barbie In A Mermaid Tale. It seems all she cares about is being a princess and going to balls, which gave her a bit of an air headed personality. I really did enjoy this movie, and it was very well made! I give this movie (****) 4 stars.

Roxy Hunter and the Myth of the Mermaid

Rating: NR (very clean kids movie!)
Run Time: 92 minutes


Summary(amazon.com):
Ka-ching! That's all super sleuth Roxy Hunter (Aria Wallace) hears when she finds out about a newspaper contest that will pay $300 to the winner who writes the best story. The trouble is, she doesn't have one! Then, like magic, a mysterious young girl arrives out of the blue with nothing - literally. No words, no memory - nothing! Roxy names her Annie Nonymous and sets off to solve the mystery of the girl's missing memory. When Annie comes home soaking wet several nights in a row, Roxy realizes the biggest clue to her super story - Annie is really a mermaid! A mermaid who desperately needs her help to get home!



My Review:
Mermaids and mysteries; two of my favorite things to watch for in mermaid movies! Sadly, this movie was mediocre at best. Roxy Hunter is a very annoying character. She is demanding, way too energetic and creates phrases like "incrediosible".  However, the mermaid is completely gorgeous, and the actress portrayed Annie Nonymous perfectly! She acted just like Madison from "Splash". She is bubbly and curious, but skittish around humans. She also has a gorgeous mermaid voice and loves to sing, which puts men around her under a spell, and even makes one of the characters fall in love with her! Annie also has to follow the lunar cycle, just like Madison, and has to go back to the ocean before it's too late, or she will get stuck on land.
Some of the scenes in this movie were just ridiculous and not needed. First off, some of the characters portrayed stereotypes of different cultures. For example, there is a Japanese man who owns a sushi place and addresses Roxy by saying "Roxy-San." There is also a lot of unnecessary scenes. There is stuff involving Roxy's mother's personal life, which didn't have much significance to the plot. The adults in this movie also act like complete morons... and all of the children seem to have the brains. I just wish we saw more mermaid scenes and less horrible acting. I give this movie (***) 3 stars.
