DOLPHIN TALE (Theatrical Release USA 2011)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.9|5.0 Starsììì

Dolphin Tale—
very watchable, a small gem for the young audience—shows how dolphins can be rehabilitated when they’ve lost important limbs. Good work by Director Charles Martin Smith. Look for Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Nathan Gamble, Cozi Zueldorff, Austin Stowell, Kris Kristofferson, and Morgan Freeman. Austin Stowell has good screen presence. It will be a pleasure to see how well he does in future films.

Yes. It’s an interesting movie for anyone who loves dolphins; the movie is comparable to Flipper.
