What happens

Aquamarine is a 2006 American teen fantasy romantic comedy film directed by Elizabeth Allen (in her feature film directorial debut), loosely based on the 2001 young adult novel of the same name by Alice Hoffman. It stars Emma Roberts, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque in her film debut, and Sara Paxton as the eponymous character. The film was released in the United States on March 3, 2006, by 20th Century Fox. Since its release, Aquamarine has become a cult film, particularly among Generation Z. In June 2026, a sequel series pilot was ordered by Disney with Roberts to reprise her role as a guest star and executive produce. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
