Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tweenage girls need their diversions like everyone else, and this pubescent fantasy comedy might just fit the bill. Two Florida tweens (Emma Roberts and Joanna "JoJo" Levesque) drool girlishly over a hunky lifeguard but then find bigger fish to fry when a real, live mermaid called Aquamarine (Sara Paxton) washes up in their swimming pool. Fortunately, she can swap her tail for legs, and thus accompany her new pals as they visit the mall, pig out on ice-cream and, like, totally obsess over boys.
Basically a riff on every pubescent girl's desire for a cool older sister, it provides innocent if rather drippy fun. At least I think it's innocent.
