How to make love to a fish. That would sum up the bizarre story of this sweet and wild comedy featuring fantastic roles by Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah.
However ludicrous the story might be, the movie really entices me with its wit and charm. Lovely and funny. Hilarious supporting role by John Candy, one of his best. The movie even includes Eugene Levy as a mad scientist, and he doesn't disappoint.
The story is really about falling in love with a mermaid, played by Darryl Hannah. She is human out of the water and only becomes a fish in the water. Can fish and human get together and fall in love?
The true star of this movie is undeniably Tom Hanks. The youthful energy of Tom Hanks just splashes across the screen in this movie. This movie launched his career way back in the eighties.
Hanks, in his younger years, was an uncontrollable force of comedy and wild antics. I must have seen this movie over ten times by now over the years and it never gets old. For every Tom Hanks fan this great comedy is a must watch.
The ending is beautiful, along with the song that plays and the closing scene. This is a great movie to watch with a date or partner. A true love story with a lot of laughs.
