Even though the scenes are used over and over again, it's still a movie., 2 June 2005
8/10

if you have a dolphin in your fish pen, you're probably the richest kid in the world or you're here but you're gone, if you catch my drift.

after a hurricane blasts through a small, town in Florida, sandy ricks and his dad go out to clean out a ship. while sandy shovels water out of the lifeboat, a dolphin jumps out of nowhere and scares him to death. after awhile, this dolphin watches him carefully. it's a few days later he and his friend go out for a swim, and you'll see what happens if you see the movie.

This movie had a lot of good creators behind it. the idea to watch and take pictures of flipper underwater was pretty darn good for those days. although some of those scenes were played over and over again, the movie is still good.

the 9/10 takes the cake here.
