Splash is a Touchstone Pictures romantic fantasy comedy about a young man named Alan(played by Tom Hanks)who hasn't any luck with women. As a kid he was saved by a mermaid and falls in love with her but when his father rescues him from the water the two are apart. Years later and Alan is now a grown man working in a fish warehouse and was about to get married but his former girlfriend left him. So he decides that the best place that he finds happy to refresh his mind is Cape Cod. He of course meets a scientist played by Eugene Levy and he goes on a boat that stops working. But when he ends up trying to fix it himself he falls into the water and gets knocked out cold. Suddenly a young beautiful woman(played by Daryl Hannah) saves him and his on dry land. When he wakes up he sees the woman who is fully nude and she goes back into the water.When the young woman does go into the water again she finds Alan's wallet and goes back to the dry land to track him down,eventually she does and the two fall madly in love and she goes by Madison. But she is hiding a secret from him;could she be the mermaid that he fell for as a kid??
So what do I like about this movie well for starters the acting is pretty good,the effects are great I love how you see the fins looking so life like. The Chemistry between Hanks and Hannah is really cute and adorable. Yes think of this movie as The Little Mermaid(which was this in adult form, and that 2006 film with Sara Paxton Aquamarine minus the twist of course) and you get this enjoyable flick. I finally recorded this on VHS as it was on this Xmas season and I will definitely watch it again soon.
Overall its a thumbs up if you love romantic fantasies and Tom Hanks in general along with mermaids.
John Candy as Freddie is hilarious in this movie RIP John Candy.
