Marine mammal-obsessed kids might like the titular cetacean and his family, but grown-ups will want to find something else to watch. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 12/07/2018
3.5/10
Harmless and family-friendly with beautiful scenery, but often boring and lethargic. It makes Free Willy look like Citizen Kane. Go to Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media 12/05/2018

Amiable eco-tale is wholesome but lackluster. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

07/31/2021 Great family friendly movie. Dolphins make everything better! Fun for the whole family. See more 04/25/2021 Can't believe they wasted money on a sequel to this. My kid has never been so bored. See more 06/03/2019 I would rather watch paint dry or lay in a busy street than even finish this movie. It is an aquatic knockoff of "Hoot" with one major exception, this movie is horrible on all accounts. The acting is over the top bad and completely horrendous (even for a kids show) choose to do anything else with your evening; dust off your old lawn darts set and plan a trip to the ER. See more 04/23/2019 Entertaining, heartwarming with a strong message. Perfect family watch! See more 02/02/2019 Great film. Loved the outdoor shots of dolphins. Starts slow, but picks up nicely after a few minutes. See more 01/17/2019 Super fun movie, my kids watched it 3 times. Loved the action, adventure and all the dolphins. Cute story too. Recommend for kids and families. See more Read all reviews
