    We need to protect Sally Field at all costs

    Has its charm and lesson on communication and the importance of friendship. Fields did a nice job.

    This was a nice comedy-drama film, and it was really good to see Sally Field again. She has always been a fun actor, and she shows some emotional range in this one. It does get a bit formulaic at times, but remains a decent family friendly movie (besides some occasional strong language, which doesn't bother me at all). I hadn't heard anything about this movie, so it was a pleasant surprise going in without knowing anything about it. Sally should get an Oscar nomination for this role.

    I loved this movie. You will need tissues for this one.
  • joshuacottle307d ago
    It’s been a long time since I’ve watched a movie that had a feeling like this one. The emotion sure hits. Very good.

    This was so, so good. Pretty close to the book as well which I love. This is a beautiful movie and such a beautiful story.
  • DavChar4d ago
    A really nice movie about lonely people making connections with each other, narrated by an octopus (this sounds weird but it works). By the end of the movie I was crying (it's REALLY dusty in here) but in a good way.

    Although the story was formulaic and seemed to glom onto my octopus teacher I enjoyed the movie and seeing the actors whom I haven't seen on screen in a while and it was fun to watch and the special effects were great

    I need more ocean movies
  • Ernesto Diaz4d ago
    Quite a few changes from the book, but mostly for the better. Leaves you with big feelings and a yearning for the PNW
  • DB86004d ago
