Cute movie for tweens November 11, 2008 Danielle J. Maloney (Texas) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This movie had a cute story line and lovely shots of dolphins and the ocean. My tweens and their friends loved it and watched it over and over.
A Very Good Family Film October 11, 2008 S William Shaw (The Nether) Eye of the Dolphin is the story of Alyssa (played by Carly Schroeder), a trouble fourteen year old girl who has lost her mother and is trying her best to cope. At wits end, Alyssa's grandmother takes her to the Bahama's, to meet her father for the first time. It is here that the story takes off.
For a family film, the first fifteen minutes are a little rough for younger children. Alyssa smokes pot, hands her grandmother a condom, and expresses her teen angst. Though none of these scenes made us want to turn the film off, they caught us a bit off guard. But with that said, Alyssa's problems are not just pointless scenes. They set the table for the rest of this beautiful and touching film.
The story is ultimately feel good. The cast of characters are very lovable, and you feel an instant connection with all of the actors in this film. The casting is superb. And by the end of the film, you delight in Alyssa's triumph, and feel glad that you - and your family - just invested the time to watch this movie.
Uplifting and entertaining. A must see family flick.
Is this a joke? August 28, 2008 H. Ward 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
'Cause I don't get it. This movie has rave reviews, received awards, and looked like a good movie. My husband and I agreed that this seemed like a high school film-class project. The acting was forced to the point of being painful and if there was a steady-cam, it must have gotten sand in it so the image jerks at a particular frequency, making it difficult to watch. Whatever budget they had probably went entirely toward working with the dolphins. Regardless of the message the movie conveyed, it was too irritating and slow to watch. After 35 minutes, we couldn't take it any more and stuffed it back in the box.
One star only for the dolphins August 22, 2008 J. Smith 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I picked this DVD up at the library. The story moves along slowly with poor acting by pretty much unknown actors. It is the typical Disney style story of the troubled teen whose life is spiraling out of control only to find her father who she thought was dead. Of course in the beginning father rejects this sudden surprise and a series of events happen that bring them together in the end. I quit watching the movie and tossed it back in the return box at the library. Zzzzzzzz
