"I don't understand. All my
life I've been waiting for someone and when I find her, she's...
she's... a fish." - Allen Bauer
Why watch this?
It's the best guy-falls-in-love-with-mermaid film... ever, and I
stand by that.
Plot Summary:
A young man named Allen Bauer is reunited with a mermaid who
saved him from drowning as a boy. She follows him to New York
City and takes on human form, and they fall in love. However,
her true identity as a mermaid remains a secret that a
persistent scientist is determined to expose.
Dad's Preview:
Plop! This interesting Rom-Com dropped out of thin air. A
regular guy meets a beautiful girl, then learns her disarming
secret – she's a mermaid. How the heck is this going to work?
That question is the film's central theme. The answer, of
course, is that true love conquers all, right? Maybe, but it's
never easy. So put on your trunks and dive into this sweet flick
about having the courage to love who you love, regardless of
what others think.
