Abraham G Apr 22, 2019 Nothing really special about this film, but it is not the worst film of its kind. Standard plot and shallow characters hurt the film. The could have balanced the larger storyline with some interesting characters and purpose. Sadly this is just an okay film and may struggle to find an audience to appreciate the flipper performance. The film never attempts to be anything more than cute, which is a shame. 15/04/2019 See more

Apr 6, 2019 I can not believe these reviews holy f*#k, catch a grip people movies don't have to have unexpected twists or unique storyline to be good. This movie is an easy watch, a feel good film. I remember getting my dad to rent this movie a stupid amount of times as a kid. If you're a kid, if you just want something easy to watch, I'd youre hungover and hanging out of your ass I recommend this movie, what do the critics know, f*#kin suits! Cheers Mark See more

Poe P Jan 24, 2019 Flipper tries to do for Dolphins what Free Willy managed for Whales. Unfortunately Flipper is nowhere in the same park as the well made Free Willy. About the only worthwhile thing Flipper offers is some decent underwater photography, but those in search of these kinds of marine views would do better checking out a National Geographic special on PBS. The film is intended to appeal to the under-12 crowd, but I have a hard time recommending it even for them. Flipper is calculated, market-driven entertainment -- recycled formulas staking out the early summer family film niche in hopes of making money. With better children's fare on the way, including the inevitable new animated feature from Disney, it's a good idea to throw this one back. Based on the 1963 movie which spawned a television series, Flipper has all the formula ingredients that saturate '90s family films. It's a cloying mixture that threatens a cuteness overdose. There isn't a moment of originality in this movie, which follows a routine path from start to finish. See more

Kylo P Dec 13, 2018 Great movie for 90s children. Not for modern day kids due to effects and better acting, but this movie is great. It shows adventure and a sense of wonder of the ocean. See more
