Dolphin Tale
Dolphin Tale in 3D
Directed by: Charles Martin Smith
Cast: Nathan Gamble, Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman
Running Time: 1 hr 53 mins
Rating: PG
Release Date: September 23, 2011
Plot: A boy (Gamble) makes a strong connection with a dolphin named Winter, whose tail was lost.
Who’S It For? Kids with a love of dolphins are the obvious audience for this family-friendly, slow-paced film.
Expectations: I do most of my crying in the movie theater, and I figured even though this film looked a little cheesy it could work for me. Plus, having Freeman in this flick couldn’t hurt, right?
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Nathan Gamble as Sawyer Nelson: First things first, while there are many adults in this film, the first two leads are 11-year-old children. Sawyer has father issues, so he’s looking for a fish to replace that lost affection. Ok, he’s not exactly looking, but he definitely finds it.
