Necessity is the mother of invention. — Plato
This movie was one that I didn’t expect to be so fascinating and also quite educational. I loved this movie in all aspects of sense, nothing was left out. I recently talked about the aspects of technology and this movie does a really good job of demonstrating it. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. I even got teared eyed at the end, seeing all the good was done and making me feel like going to Clearwater, Florida to see this Dolphin in action. Something that was really nice was that they even used said their website on the movie, seewinter.com. I was curious so I decided to put that in the URL to see if that was a REAL website.
It’s all Family Friendly!
I didn’t expect to see something that was so family friendly. I didn’t hear any cussing or see anything that wasn’t appropriate for all ages. Although some people have complained about the first part of the movie where we find Winter showing blood and him being tangled up in ropes. I didn’t see anything else that was questionable. I think my kids actually learned something of value in movie.
I’d recommend this movie to anyone who wants to have a Family Movie Night. This is one of those that I really respect what they did to the movie and I feel this is a great way to bond with your kids and sit down and watch the movie together. Dolphin Tale (Affiliate link) is a thumbs up in my book and I strongly recommend it to anyone who might want to see this movie!
