'''Aquamarine''' (Lat. ''aqua marina'', "water of the sea") is a [[gemstone]]-quality transparent variety of [[beryl]], having a delicate blue or blue-green color, suggestive of the tint of [[seawater]]. It's closely related to the gem [[emerald]]. Colors vary and yellow beryl, called ''heliodor''; rose pink beryl, ''morganite''; and white beryl, ''goshenite'' are known.  
'''Aquamarine''' is the Fox movie that premired in March. It's closely related to Splash. Emma Roberts, Joannna "Jojo" Levesque, and Sara Paxton are great on the screen.

Aquamarine

Aquamarine is the Fox movie that premired in March. It's closely related to Splash. Emma Roberts, Joannna "Jojo" Levesque, and Sara Paxton are great on the screen.

The basic storyline is about two best friends who get exactly what they fish for in Aquamarine, a laugh-out-loud hilarious comedy about friendship. Emma, Sara, and Jojo star in "The Sweetest Treat since Princess Diaries!" (Yahoo! Movies)

It's the end of the summer and Claire (Roberts) and Hailey (Jojo) have a major problem. In just five days, Hailey's family is moving half-way around the world! These girls need a major miricle, and they get one in the form of Aquamarine, a beautiful mermaid who washes ashore in a late summer storm. Sweet but clueless to the ways of romance, she offers to grant the girls one wish if they help her find the boy of her dreams. But when they attempt to reel in th cute local lifeguard, the result is what none of them expect... and they discover that sometimes what you wish for isn't what you really want after all.

Sara Paxton is great playing Aquamarine. She said it was hard to get her tail on, but she's always wanted to be a mermaid ever since she was a kid, so it was exciting. "I think the story is about learning to stand up for yourself," she basically said. "It has a suprise ending too."

Aquamarine is a great fish-out-of water comedy for everyone.
