Eye of the Dolphin (2006)
Great family film-especially on a cold winter day
I got the DVD from my public library. Hadn't heard of it before but thought how bad could it be with a dolphin. But the movie is cute and funny in a Disney-like way and I can't think of anything offensive for younger audiences (does show drinking and smoking in a few scenes). The ending is a little sugary sweet for my adult taste but the only part of the film that's overdone.
Watching the movie was like taking a mini-vacation away from the freezing Jan. temps outside. After seeing the long slow shots of the turquoise water and coral beach, the brightly painted houses, and hearing the lilt of the local Bahamian supporting cast, you can almost feel the tropical breeze. Makes me want to jump on a plane to the Bahamas right now.
This movie is one that the whole family can enjoy-how rare is that!
