well and here another outing for the tissue tribe . one of the many utterly talentless cast couch queen of the 1980 and daryl hannah and play her predictable screen persona a the vulnerable naiveté in a hu man world ( check out crazy people ) . this movie doesn not contain clichés while it be a cliché . strangely popular one dimensional tom hank play it straight against various odd ball individual include his huckster brother and act by the continuously upstaging john candy and with a little pythonesque humour supply by a female employee who have have a bump on the head and be now in the habit of wear her clothes out of synch . then later and he up against a marine biologist with a fascist turn and attempt to expose ms hannah fishy secret and of which he hanks be a yet unaware ( she a mermaid and you see ) . it would appear that on dry land and her fishy low half turn into a human and most excellent pair of pin with the sundry anatomy between so long a they stay dry . but that if they do not get a regular soaking and they will remain a legs forever and and she will be force to stay on land . or something like that . candy can be hilarious in the right scenario check out plane and train and automobile . hank . i can only conclude that he spend some time on a very influential casting couch a well . darly hannah have the face and figure to have most unemancipated male or most male and in other word embarrass by the scale of their spontaneous erection . she be definitely the stuff of an evolutionary trophy wife . and we get to see a great deal of her meat in this movie . then and of course and she get to do most anything she like and whether it be wander about stark naked and go on a buying spree at another expense and or destroy a shop full of tv set . she get to do this because she pretty and vulnerable and naive. yawn . some people see it a a romance . but i offer this bi line represent m hannah character or madison and a she call herself be a mermaid and and therefor not only a different specie but also a supposedly dangerous one of ancient folklore . and we learn that she have be stalk hank character like some paedophilic pariah ever since he be a child . naturally and she have wait until he be adult before take her pursuit onto dry land and but the implication be self evident . she use sex to ensnare him ( and a great deal of it and a the dialogue make clear ) in order to subvert him to her way of life . it a life of immortality but from which he can never and ever escape ( though he doesn not yet know it whilst he submit to her therapy ) . be i the only one who can see the parallel with dracula in that resume . i put this to any viewer represent would the scenario be quite so romantic if the seducer be male . because then the parallel with dracula would be complete . only at the last moment and on the dockside and when she have win him over and he have cravenly agree to join her in her oceanic world and do she spring on him the deadly caveat that there will be no go back while when he join her and it be for ever . i suspect that if the gender table be turn and any male would be regard a the most consummate manipulator and fraud under the same circumstance . however while if paedophilia and bestiality and and betrayal be your idea of the ingredient for a good romance and then keep take the tissue .
