Reviews
Splash is a light-hearted comedy directed by Ron Howard that sparkles here and there thanks to its fairy tale elements.
Splash is probably the ultimate fish-out-of-water film, primarily because it literally features a fish out of water.
The movie is cute, light, and fluffy, perhaps not the laugh-fest I had remembered but enough to get by.
