3.5/4 |
Director Ron Howard has a good sense of the whimsical, and his film is sweet and unpretentious, though somewhat ribald when one realizes the studio from whence it sprang. Full Review |

Splash is probably the ultimate fish-out-of-water film, primarily because it literally features a fish out of water. Full Review |
