Efficiently likeable romantic fantasy with a decent cast and John Candy to provide the laughs.

After a lot of discussion, my wife and I figured out why this movie is not that great. It treats the romance more as an attraction than a relationship. With all the great romantic comedies, you feel the two leads are a match, that they compliment eachother. That's not the case with these two, you just like the characters separately, but the only reason they belong together is because we're told they do.

A totally 80s romantic comedy. Kind of dated and cheesy now, but both Ron Howard and Tom Hanks have gone on to bigger and better things, so it didn't derail things that badly.

Splash is a highly disappointing movie from the team of Ron Howard and Tom Hanks. This movie is well directed but badly written, very slow and overlong. Daryl Hannah and John Candy are great fun, but Tom Hanks is just decent. Eugene Levy is also fun. but the film is just not funny and it becomes stale, very fast.
