Splash Reviews
Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é mais ou menos, o elenco é mais ou menos, e alguns ajudam a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para ser bom.
There’s depth to the story beneath the surface, but it’s the film’s overall charm and playfully witty humor that make it resonate so powerfully. It’s an absolute joy to watch.
The story of The Little mermaid has been around as long as mermaids have. Or the legend of mermaids. The story has been told in so many ways from live action to animated. But this is one of the best adaptations of it. It has action, comedy, romance, and funny man John candy. Daryl Hannah did all her own stunts as Madison the mermaid. This movie made Madison a household name. It has an LOL cast Tom Hanks, John candy, Eugene Levy. It is definitely a classic. One of the best films of the 1980s. The special effects are pretty awesome for the time.
We all need to discover our inner Walter Kornbluth, and mine every scenario we can for buried treasure.
A clever rom-com from the 1980s
Just a man trying to consensually f*ck a mermaid. Leave him alone!
This movie is good! One of the best mermaid films I have ever seen!
too ridiculous to work.
I made an account because this movie was that bad. The actual epitome of everyone is awful, the opposite of charming and skirting on psychotic. The entire film is about a typical guy in New York guy who has sex with s stranger and it kicked so much ass he gave everything he could to marry a woman he knew nothing about other than that butt was dope. Alan, Hanks character, is a complete ass hole in every moment. Madison is an understandably weird attempt at a human but never particularly amusing in her oddities. To top it off, some how by the end of the film the brother who drops coins to look up skirts comes across as the most sincere character in the entire film, but not before echoing Alan's boohoo I just want to love and never will miserable baby shit. Props to John Candy though, who is never not fun to watch. Leave it in the 80's, it's actual trash and filled with the worst kind of characters, the worst kind of relationships and not enough time letting John Candy be John Candy.
Some movies just don't stand the pass of time.
LOL, the funniest 01 hour: and 51 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the most fantastical movies of my childhood. Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks have tremendous chemistry in this live-action, modern retelling adaptation of Hans Christian Anderson's story.
A classical film that has similarities about Tom Hanks's character regarding finding love. The movie was finely executed and has its comedic parts and the nice chemistry between Daryl Hannah and Tom Hanks. The innocence and purity of Hanks's character in remembering the mermaid that saved him is a trait hard to possess in the present time, A good movie to remind us how love does not have to be complicated.
The cleanest that New York Harbor has ever looked. There's apparently coral and tropical fish down there, not syringes and dead mobsters. Splash is the movie that launched Tom Hanks to mainstream stardom and represented a much-needed cash influx for the struggling Walt Disney Studios (would the mouse release a movie with a topless woman under their family business name these days?). Hanks is charming as all get-out and his hair is at its most curly, and the pairing of Hanks and Daryl Hannah seems pretty strong. There are top-shelf supporting chracters brought to life with great comedic talent (John Candy as a weirdly perverted brother, and Eugene Levy as a disgruntled mermaid-hunting scientist). The story is cute, but the Oscar-nominated screenplay doesn't really prioritize any sort of consistency; once Levy starts to play more of a prominent role in the film it totally transforms from a slightly offbeat rom-com to a full-blown screwball comedy. Hanks' whole character is odd, he has problems committing to women but then gets upset that the woman that he's known for all of three days won't immediately agree to marry him. The ending comes out of nowhere - a kiss gives Hanks mermaid powers for some reason, and then the two wordlessly swim away to Atlantis, which apparently exists. The worldbuilding is weird, but the film gets by mostly through the early scenes of the two leads getting to know one another, with Hanks head over heels and Hannah as the literal fish out of water. Levy gets off shockingly easily for an apparent assassination attempt on a US president. (2.5/5)
I didn't really like this movie when it came out, and it didn't improve with age. Pretty lame overall. Even Tom Hanks couldn't save this one.
I recently rewatched Splash after about 30 years. It is a memorable movie for its concept, but I was surprised by how well the comedy has held up. I would have a hard time imagining someone pulling off John Candy's shamelessly crass performance today.
classic!!!! perfect
Little mermaid but funny. Raunchy H2O without accents… so worse… or maybe that's an improvement. Lost a star for nonsensical suit swinging and the love interest's personality being pretty. It was a laugh tho. The movie peaks early and ran too long.
Other than some rather sexist slapstick (John Candy, playing the "funny fat guy" character, has a thing about looking up women's skirts) and a heroine who is a guy's dream because she barely speaks and wants sex 24/7, the movie holds up rather well. Eugene Levy and Tom Hanks are the best things about it. Daryl Hannah is predictably sweet and naive. There's some stuff that's still genuinely funny and I may have even teared up a little.
You can’t beat a classic Hanks film on a Sunday evening.
