Kimber Myers Los Angeles Times Marine mammal-obsessed kids might like the titular cetacean and his family, but grown-ups will want to find something else to watch. Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Harmless and family-friendly with beautiful scenery, but often boring and lethargic. It makes Free Willy look like Citizen Kane. Rated: 3.5/10 Dec 7, 2018 Full Review Tara McNamara Common Sense Media Amiable eco-tale is wholesome but lackluster. Rated: 2/5 Dec 5, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Great family friendly movie. Dolphins make everything better! Fun for the whole family. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't believe they wasted money on a sequel to this. My kid has never been so bored. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Entertaining, heartwarming with a strong message. Perfect family watch! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Great film. Loved the outdoor shots of dolphins. Starts slow, but picks up nicely after a few minutes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/28/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
