Splash (9-Mar-1984)
Director: Ron Howard Writers: Brian Grazer; Bruce Jay Friedman; Lowell Ganz; Babaloo Mandel Music by: Lee Holdridge Producer: Brian Grazer Keywords: Romantic Comedy, Mermaid, New York Fruit and vegetable salesman Allen Bauer falls off a boat while vacationing at Cape Cod, and is rescued by a beautiful mermaid with an unpronounceable name. Maybe this is the same mermaid that rescued Allen from drowning when he was an eight-year-old boy? She later finds Allen's wallet and seeks him out in New York City (this mermaid has human legs when she's dry). Charming romantic comedy; great supporting roles for Eugene Levy and John Candy. Received an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.

REVIEWS Review by anonymous (posted on 9-Jan-2007) My God! The best real-mermaid movie I have ever seen! I developed a love for mermaids ever since my mother bought me a copy of Disney's The Little Mermaid when I was 3 years old. The Splash came along...my was it a sight for my eyes to look upon! I'm 20 years old today and still fascinated with all that detail in the fish-tail! My greatest wish is to become a film-producer, and my very first project would be an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. Splash is a great source of visual research! I must say great work to whomever thought of that script. An d Daryl Hannah...a perfection in the ideal image of a mermaid! I did not give the film full fives due to some boring scenes of New York, but the rest is for how wonderfully the mermaid scenes were shot, especially those underwater! Wonderful; absolutely wonderful!
