Honestly, I thought it was a great movie. I was dragged into going by my mom and thought it was going to be boring, but it was actually really good! Just because a movie doesn't have a bunch of graphic sex scenes or violence doesn't mean it's bad. I thought it was really cute and it's a great movie & cheers you up. I swear, people are so nit-picky. It's nice to see a light-hearted movie every now and then that cheers you up.

I enjoyed it too, I recommend anyone with a disabled child to see it.
Me being distracted by that thing your mom does with her tounge caused any typos

Thank you! Exactly why I didn't see it in the theater, and instead waited for redbox. This movie would have been great if they hadn't felt the need to change the story in order to add the "CHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-YULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLD," as you put it.

I think that's what ruined it for me. It wasn't awful, but when children begin acting like adults and are smarter than the adults in the movie, that kind of ruins it.
I should have loved this movie. I love dolphins and I'm a sap for kids in movies and I love Harry C., Morgan Freedman and Ashley Judd. And yet, I kept going "just how lonnng is this movie?" We all know these people can act so why did it come off as really bad acting? I enjoyed the real life scenes at the end that were more documentary in style.
shareBecause this is IMDB. No other reason. People who use IMDB suck.
I haven't seen this movie, but thought it looked cute for a family film, and it's getting great reviews. Obviously, it's just a case of the pretentious, cry-baby IMDB crowd who can't like anything.
And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
Because commenters on IMDb are, for the most part, male teenagers and young men who -- to assert their supposed grown-up status -- enjoy dissing films that are aimed at children and (even more ire-arousing) teenage girls. There is nothing at all wrong with this picture.
shareYOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. A great family movie that send a message about courage and determination. It also teaches kids to respect aquatic life. I've had close up encounters with dolphins both at Sea World in SD and at Siegfried and Roy's
in the Las Vegas Mirage. To touch and rub the bellies of those marvelous animals, to have them kiss you, to feed them little fish and follow your commands to flip over, wave and talk was a thrill.
LMAO...
First you say: "It also teaches kids to respect aquatic life."
Then you say: "to have them kiss you, to feed them little fish and follow your commands to flip over, wave and talk was a thrill."
Is that the way you show respect to such great animals???
Uhm, yeah. The very best way a human being can respect aquatic life like a dolphin IS to let them kiss you, feed them fish, and follow your commands to flip over, wave, and talk. There is absolutely NO other way to respect aquatic life, you know. It's called mutual respect. Respect the dolphin, and the dolphin will respect you. I know. A tough concept for cold hearts like your own, right.
ALL HAIL THE HIGH QUEEN!!!!!
How old are you? 10, 12? for your little mind a movie can be good only when it has a bunch of graphic sex scenes or violence. Is that it?
shareThere is also a political component. Morgan Freeman made a political statement that caused a tempest in a teapot (no pun intended) and the movie was immediately denounced in some circles.
