Though this picture neither hurls lightning bolts nor melts you heart, it adds up to a pleasant enough Florida vacation.

Predictable and utterly unoriginal.

Boring, boring, boring kids movie with sea animals. Free Willy this is not.

In a family movie, kids from single parent families conspire to hook up their parents. There's a dog and a dolphin too, lest the other shenanigans fail to focus yer little sprites. A good opportunity for you to catch up on your planned summer reads.
