Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

bombersflyup Splash was a nice fun film with an excellent cast. Unfortunately the last quarter or so was weak.Tom Hanks is great as the lead and Daryl Hannah quite alluring. John Candy is humorous and lovable. Eugene Levy is not usually funny to me but has some good moments here. The potential was wasted a little bit, but I did laugh a lot.

gnowaczek My brother bought this for me on DVD as a Christmas gift in 2006, every year on Valentine's Day I watch it because I'm a big fan of the romantic comedy genre.Director Ron Howard with the help of writing team Babaloo Mandel & Lowell Ganz created a timeless, funny and enchanting romantic comedy that's so magical it's also classic. The cast is well selected, Tom Hanks is one of Hollywood's brightest stars I remember seeing him on television as Kip Wilson from Bosom Buddies and Ned Donnelly from a few episodes of Family Ties. His portrayal of a lonely businessman who falls for a woman with a secret was comical and sweet.Darryl Hannah is lovely and whimsical as the mermaid, she doesn't act like a dumb blonde but rather a curious beauty trying to navigate through a world she's never been in before. The chemistry between her & Hanks is smart & touching. John Candy's break out role as Freddie Bauer Allen's older, bachelor womanizing brother was a laugh a minute great. There's a memorable scene in which Allen, Freddie and Dr. Kornbluth played by the brilliant Eugene Levy make a rescue plan to save Madison. She tells him not to feel guilty about not loving her anymore, He says "Oh Madison". "All the time we were together, you always knew how I was feeling. Can't you tell now? then they kissed. The song Love Came For Me sung by Rita Coolidge during the part where the happy couple swims away together and while the credits rolled was a moving moment.Splash is one of 1984's best films not just for the comedy but also for the romantic fantasy displayed,I'd give it a 6.9/10.

Thomas Drufke What I really like about Splash is that it doesn't try to be anything more than a laid back comedy. There are too many movies today that attempt at a deeper meaning than necessary. Splash is just a typical 80's romantic comedy that can be fun for all ages. Its led by Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. During the times that they both communicate the chemistry is great, even with a bit of a rocky start. Of course Hanks and Hannah are the only reason I watched the film. When you read the premise it sounds like a Disney Channel film (I'm looking at you Aqua Marine) so when I ended up watching it I was pleasantly surprised. Now the movie has a lot of eye rolling moments but also a bit of charm to it as well.For beginners I don't understand how the film can be given a PG rating with nudity across the entire 100 minutes, but the script and characters are easy enough to follow for a young age. With that being said you know exactly where the movie is headed, which can be annoying. I did find all the scenes with John Candy to be hilarious but you don't get comedic relief from anywhere else though.But as I have said the film doesn't try to do too much with fish out of water premise. It knows when its silly and it plays off itself. Its not a great movie by any stretch of the imagination but I cant say I'm disappointed with it either.+John Candy+Music brings charm to the romance+doesnt try to do too much-A bit too silly at times-Predictable-PG rating?6.2/10

mattkratz This is a true "fish-out-of-water" comedy and one of my favorites. It is a good example of perfect casting (especially Darryl Hannah as the mermaid and John Candy as the lovingly in-the-way brother) and a cast working well together. It is one of my two favorite mermaid movies along with Aquamarine. It starts off with Tom Hanks's character as a young boy being rescued from drowning by Hannah's character at the same age. It picks up later at the time the movie was set in New York City. Hanks is a busybody who runs into the mermaid again, except he doesn't recognize her (would you?, and he falls in love with her.My favorite scenes are the Statue of Liberty scene, the department store scene with the TV sets and where she learns English, and where Eugene Levy is spraying the wrong people with water trying to prove that she's a mermaid.This is a must for anybody who loves comedy and a movie with Tom Hanks, Darryl Hannah, and/or John Candy in it. A movie with those actors in it can't be that bad in it, and this is GREAT. I loved it and you will too.*** 1/2 out of ****
