A delightful film about a dolphin that befriends some people. Surprisingly moving in places.

There are some rather tense moments - which is, I suppose, why this film is rated PG rather than U - and some unpleasant bad guys, but overall this is an uplifting story about the influence a dolphin can have over a moody teenager.

Recommended. ( )
