The 2006 film followed best friends Claire (Roberts) and Hailey (JoJo) as they spend their last summer together before Hayley moves to Australia with her mom. Their summer is quickly shaken up when they discover a mermaid named Aqua (Paxton) washed up from a storm in their beach town with the goal of finding love.<\/p>\n
