Dr. Cameron McCarthy: "Just because you're hurt doesn't mean you're broken". Dolphin Tale is about a boy bonds with a dolphin who loses its tail after being caught in a crab trap. This movie was a harmless family flick with cute dolphins. People say that this is a copy and paste from free willy, but this is thing, I didn't like free willy at all, but I think this movie has a stronger message and it has better charterers. This is a harmless movie that little kids can enjoy and parents can find something good in this.

It seems the dolphin was more of a star than the artists involved with the exception of Morgan Freeman. Judd and Harry Connick Jr.'s talents were wasted on a family flick. As mentioned by others, too cheesy and obviously fabricated for better entertainment. This reviewer felt the direction tried to impress the audiences with its technical aspects (especially the designing stages of the missing part). Had some moments of a good film but certain parts were a drag.

Being a Clearwater, FL native and growing up 15min from where this film was shot, I was praying and hoping this would be a good movie. IT WAS TRASH!!! I cant believe this was a big screen movie. This belongs on the shelves of the Clearwater Aquarium gift shop, not for the whole nation to see. Clearwater is amazing everybody. We have the cleanest beaches with the best sand in all of Florida. One of the only locations not littered with condos and hotels. And I swear we are not as cheesy and fake as this movie. BURN IT!!!! BURN IT!!!!! Send it to Hell!!!!!

A boy gets an instant connection with a dolphin when he saw her hurt on a crab trap. He then checks on her everytime in the marine hospital and finds out that her tail has to be taken-off in order for her to live. *** It was really heartwarming watch, and I swear this movie really lights up fire of hope to everyone who happened to have disabilities, this movie is really touching and moving. However, I don't get the point why this film has to be in 3D, it's good by itself, the story knocks out! Recommended!
