As Good As It Gets

A different way of telling a story

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

I adore the 1984 film Splash. It was irresistible, charming, funny and romantic. I admit I wasn't expecting Splash Too to top it in any way, but I was expecting it to be watchable in some way. Alas, it wasn't. Splash Too is the anti-thesis of Splash. It is forgettable, charmless, unfunny and mawkish.I will give some credit, the locations are quite nice. Also Todd Waring and Amy Yasbeck give decent performances, however they don't have the beautiful chemistry that Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah had and they are further disadvantaged by the fact that the characters are caricatures of their former selves. The direction is also very plodding, the script is flat and unfunny, the story is predictable and lazy and ignores some of the events of that of Splash, the pace is sloppy and I agree the theme song is abysmal.In conclusion, very disappointing, seeing how wonderful Splash was. 2/10 Bethany Cox

It's a great film and a it's a good story, because in reality you can't drop a business it will all go down hill. Allen had to save his business and then Madison found her friend Salty the Dolphin and tries to rescue him. I have been watching this film maybe since i was four i am 19 now and i still think it should come on TV more often it's not fair. Splash 1 is so wonderful and i wish they bring Splash too on more often The actors deserve more credit, If it was Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah i think my friends may appreciate it more. I like it it's great and it's really a good movie i do not agree with that person who said what an awful movie excuse me you don't know a good movie standing right in front of you, this was a great childhood movie to me, if i was a mermaid and Dolphins were my only friends i'd do the same. It's an excellent backup to the original it's so good a squeal i must have been physically bullied because i was obsessed with mermaids and dolphins and i act out scenes from Splash 1 and 2 i used to love Todd Waring and Amy yasback. isn't it amazing how much she looks like daryl hannah when they changed her hair. Splash too changed my life forever i was able to stand up for myself and what i believed "I like dolphins and i will save them and rescue one someday." I did i paid at my school to have a dolphin adopted by a wonderful family and i feel very proud of it.

WARNING, has some spoilers If your a die hard fan of Tom Hanks or the other cast from the original "Splash", then "Splash Too" may be seen as trash. But I think it is one of the greatest, yet unfortunately obscure sequels ever made! Just like the first, it has fairy tale elements mixed with a sophisticated grown up feel. Who would have ever thought a movie about a mermaid could be for adults, huh? lol. Anyway, it opens up with Madison who is now played by the lovely Amy Yasbeck, who may I add was much much much better than Daryl Hannah, playing with a Dolphin friend named Salty in the sea. it has a great opening sequence. In some ways though, this movie totally contradicts the first. Allen and Madison went back to New York, although the reason they left is because the government was after Madison. So its a bit odd there. But yet still works.The guy that took over for Tom Hanks is ok. But I prefer Tom. It must have been hard filling Tom's shoes though, so he did a good job in general. In some senses I prefer "Splash Too" to the original. I like Madison's new found power, Salty, Amy Yasbeck as Madison etc.Also, you see Madison of a mermaid more in the movie. And the story line is more fun. The first was great, but mainly revolved around Madison trying to hide the fact that she was a mermaid. The ice for this movie had been totally broke, and allot more happens in it. This is the ultimate family Sunday movie!

This Disney sequel to the 1984 hit 'Splash' is a lot better than a lot of people think. And while Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah chose not to reprise their roles as mermaid & man couple Alan and Madison, this does not take anything away from the film itself.When we last left Allen and Madison, they had just left New York to live a life of secrecy on a deserted island. It's here, that Madison (Amy Yasbeck) shows Allen (Todd Waring) how she can view other people's lives, simply by running her index finger in a circle motion in water. This makes Allen sad, and they both return to New York to live.Here, Madison (played by Yasbeck, from 'The Mask', 'Problem Child' and 'Problem Child 2') finds out that Alan's boss is using dolphins as guinea pigs in some company's testing experiment. She tries desperately to save Salty the Dolphin and enlists the help of Alan, and Fern, Alan's boss's wife.This is a wonderful fantasy tail (hehe - that's me being clever!) about one of the eightie's favorite film couples. In my opinion, Amy did a way better job than Daryl Hannah ever did! Dody Goodman ('Grease', 'Grease 2', 'Splash') returns as the kooky recepetionist, while John Candy ('Uncle Buck', 'Home Alone', 'Cool Runnings') and Eugene Levy (American Pie) also neglected to return.I always loved this movie as a kid, and while it was only a TV movie, that was not supposed to be as good as the original, I thought it was sooooooo much better! Amy's fantastic, the dolphin is cool and... and... it just rocks...okay?
