i can not say that this movie deserve a ten and because i would be lie . i adore this movie when i saw it and though . it carry the unique bond of a friendship between a teenager and a dolphin . although it doesn not display the sweetness that jesse and willy have in free willy and it provide an exciting movie that the whole family will enjoy . if you love marine animal and or if u love just a perfect family film and this movie be suit for you . flipper definitely show u how adorable dolphin be and and they be playful and could easily be house pet if everyone have a big enough pool . i love whale and dolphin and so obviously this movie work for me . i do think that the producer should have choose another shark instead of the hammerhead to enhance the antagonist part in the story . perhaps a great white . flipper be magnificent . so check it out .
