Splash Ratings & Reviews
- Noah Austin BrooksSeptember 21, 2025"Splash," released in 1984, falls short of expectations in numerous ways. The film struggles with a convoluted plot that attempts to blend romantic comedy with fantasy but ultimately feels disjointed. The characters lack depth, leaving viewers unable to connect with their motivations or struggles. Tom Hanks, despite his charm, delivers a performance that feels constrained by the mediocre script. Meanwhile, Daryl Hannah's portrayal of the mermaid lacks the nuance needed to truly capture the character's unique blend of innocence and fascination with the human world. Additionally, the film's special effects have not aged well, diminishing the magic of its premise. Overall, "Splash" fails to create a compelling narrative, making it a disappointing experience for those seeking an engaging story.
