Blue Juice (1995)
7/10
Despite mediocre performances & melodramatic writing / direction, its style (& Catherine Zeta-Jones) make it iconic
30 September 2023
In 1995 Brit surf drama "Blue Juice" Sean Pertwee's a Cornish surf dude at a cross-road as he nears 30. Does he follow the 'fairytale' of world travel, or 'settle down' with perfect girlfriend Catherine Zeta-Jones? And how might he be swayed by the surprise visit of London mates Ewan MacGregor (sleazily trying to impress tabloid journo Keith Allen), Steven Makintosh (sell-out DJ) & Peter Gunn (about to marry)? Most performances are mediocre (bar Jenny Agutter & Edwin Starr cameos) and director / co-writer Carl Prechever does veer into melodrama, yet its style (and Zeta-Jones at her freshest) help makes it somewhat iconic, even almost 30 years after its release.
