Claire McNear The Ringer If that’s not the fantasy of the entire DCOM viewership, I don’t know what is... Apr 25, 2023 Full Review Tracey Petherick Common Sense Media With a little bit of jeopardy, some social observation, and a few laughs, this is a perfectly acceptable family comedy in the made-for-TV mold. Rated: 3/5 Oct 14, 2021 Full Review Amanda the Jedi Amanda the Jedi (Youtube) If you didn't experience the Disney merman movie as a child, you simply missed out. A quirky coming of age story that always felt perfect on those weekend afternoons. Jul 4, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

TurtleBoi B Cody and Jess were CLEARLY kissing and I won't take any other opinion Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie about a kid with an ideal life suddenly goes upside-down really is Disney Channel's specialty and this movie is prime example being able to blend the hero's journey with conflict, depth, heart, and acceptance of identity this movie really leaves your heart full and inspired. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I really really love it so much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member I loved this movie. The actors portrayed the already interesting characters well. It was a movie that didn't rush the transformation and the look of the scales was very real and made this movie all the more convincing. This was an overall good movie which I enjoy watching Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Anything can happen when you turn 13.
