i must have see splash a dozen or more time a a child of 8 or 9 and not since . it be my pleasure tonight to watch it with my 8 year old boy and all the scene i remember and some of those i do not come flood back and we have a real hoot . howard manage to create a whimsical comedy or fantasy but it not without depth too . hank and in one of his early role be superb a unlucky in love allen and who in the end show that love have no boundary . daryl hannah be even more beautiful than i remember and and particularly in the early scene where she doesn not speak english show why she be perfectly cast for the role . eugene levy and john candy add the humour and make it an all round joyous watch . i would not pretend it hasn not get flaw . i mean why doesn not she just climb out of the tank and dry herself off and walk outta there and but this isn not and doesn not pretend to be some kind of statement film . i simply can not judge it that way for me and it be a childhood classic and and now be simply a classic in it own right .
