Marine mammal-obsessed kids might like the titular cetacean and his family, but grown-ups will want to find something else to watch.

Harmless and family-friendly with beautiful scenery, but often boring and lethargic. It makes Free Willy look like Citizen Kane.

Rated: 3.5/10

Amiable eco-tale is wholesome but lackluster.

Can't believe they wasted money on a sequel to this. My kid has never been so bored.

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.

Great film. Loved the outdoor shots of dolphins. Starts slow, but picks up nicely after a few minutes.
