A charming, sexy and funny mermaid tale with Tom Hanks as a successful, young businessman who has everything but love, that is until he meets up with the girl of his dreams, played by Daryl Hannah; however, unbeknownst to him, she is a mermaid targeted for capture by an obsessed oceanographer. Perfect performances and clever laughs make this a must see for fans of romantic comedy.

  A rare Mermaid film
Review created: 12/18/06(updated 04/20/08)

Outstanding classic romantic story in a DVD format (2004 issue). "Splash" is probably Daryl Hannah's best film. It's sometimes thought provoking and sometimes mindless entertainment - all at the same time. It will be a film you'll remember and almost everyone can get something out of it. It's rare that a mermaid movie hits the big screen with an all star cast - even though at the time it was made, the stars were not as well known as today. Note that this review is made with no knowledge as to who the potential seller may be.

  Great Movie
Review created: 07/04/08

I love this movie and did since I first saw it when it came out in the movie theater. I was able to share it with my niece and now she fell in love with it too. I hadn't seen it in a while and forgot how cute it was.

there is a lot to like about this comedy.

performances by candy, hanks, hannah, levy, are all classics.

the romance of the leads, countered by the perversion of candy, and the obsession of levy, make for a fun movie. i am eager to see this version.

lots of fun.

the 'swedish doctors' and some of the other scenes, are comedy gold.

Splash - A good movie about a man who sees a mermaid when he is younger and meets up with her again when he is older. They fall in love, there is a bunch of funny scenes in between. It's a funny movie, give it a try.

Definately Daryl Hannahs best movie ever. Tom Hanks is really funny. John Candy & Eugene Levy round out the great cast. Excellent film. Special features are great, showing original audition tapes.

I THOUGHT IT WAS VERY ENTERTAING & MY 9 YEAR OLD THOUGHT IT WAS GOOD BUT SHE LIKED AQUA MARINE BETTER. IT WAS A BIT DATED LIKE THE CLOTHES STYLE, AND IT DID HAVE SOME BREEF NUDITY BUT WAS DONE IN GOOD TASTE. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE YOUR TIPICALL ROMANCE COMADY.

This was my FAVORITE movie when I was little. The "Little Mermaid" type story acted out by humans is great! I decided to buy this DVD because it is hard to find in stores, it reminds me of my past, and it is the 20th Anniversary Edition with such GREAT actors as Tom Hanks, Darell Hannah, and "The late" John Candy. An awesome movie that I had to have for my collection.

A wonderful light, airy love story about a mermaid and human who is willing to become a merman to be with her for all eternity.
Cute wholesome movie that the whole family will enjoy. It keeps you laughing and rooting for the mermaid and booing the scientist who is constantly trying to chase her down. You'll find yourself actually wanting the scientist to get socked, hit and hurt just because of his treatment of the mermaid.
The brother, John Candy, is such a goof-off, but very tender hearted and in the end knowing he'll lose his brother forever, he doesn't hesitate to help him leave this world behind and go be with his true love.
This movie is a classic and will remain so. Buy it now, because it is becoming hard to purchase.
I give it 5+ STARS

We love the when the girl turns into a mermaid in the tub and her tail unfolds. It is also great to see Tom Hanks as a young actor.

This was a very hard to get movie. I looked every where. They had it online at Walmart but was cheaper for me to buy it on ebay. Price was great, the quality was great. All in all it was a great movie at a great price.

  Splash - Dated But Still Fun!
Review created: 03/28/04
by: AliventiAsylum-- a member of Epinions and Advisor in Movies

Pros:
great cast, funny moments, sweet story

Cons:
dated, a moment that borders on racism

It s hard for me to believe that it s been twenty years since the release of the movie Splash - the film that launched Disney s Touchstone Films division. I can distinctly remember the buzz about the film when it was released. As I watched the just-released DVD, I realized that to really appreciate the film, there s a need for an understanding of the times. Tom Hanks was fresh out of his Bosom Buddies sitcom, where he portrayed a man dressing as a woman to have a decent apartment. Ron Howard was known for being Opie on The Andy Griffith Show, and Richie Cunnigham on Happy Days. The sexual...

  SPLASH is nonsense -- but charming nonsense.
Review created: 02/17/00
by: macresarf1 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Slight, funny, relaxing comedy about the romance of a Mermaid and a New Yorker.

Cons:
This film is not NINOTCHKA!

Do we believe that our Economy will expand forever? What about the Second Coming? Well, why not blonde Daryl Hannah as a mermaid who will rescue you from drowning --twice! -- and lavish you with love!? I'll have a hard time manufacturing my 100 words for SPLASH (1984), but I liked this film. (May be just Miss Hannah, sewn into a fishtail, has something to do with it.) Ron Howard, ex-child star, became an uneven but successful film director, and here is an example of his early comic forte, before he began to show signs of thinking he was a great artiste. Tom Hanks, a competent actor but no...

  Splash: A Mermaid Turns a Cute Love Story Into a Sex Fest Instead!
Review created: 06/02/03
by: sweetcece -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Fairy tale come true for Allen who had a childhood encounter with a mermaid

Cons:
Many Sexual Implications,Why Couldn't It Be Just Cute Instead?

A young boy falls into the sea and has an encounter with a mermaid. This encounter goes with him all of the days of his life and affects him as the only time where he felt peace within himself. This sets ups a cute and precious love story that would be really one for the "books", except that the story itself becomes filled with sexual references in valuation with love instead of love on its own merits. And all of this story is known as the movie titled Splash one that I watch periodically but still feel has major faults. Continuation of the Story and Comments As we move ahead numerous years...

  Amazing...but stupid
Review created: 11/07/00
by: RSRomeo123 -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
mermaids, great story

Cons:
bad writing, bad actors....

Do mermaids exist? After watching Splash, I sure hope so. This great little gem of the 80's brought mermaids into the mainstream. Now, it is by no means good. Tom Hanks evidently wasn't much of an actor back then. Darryl Hannah? I don't think so. Not only is she a terrible actress, but, and I know this is going to be disputed by many, I find her to be totally unacttractive. John Candy is THE 80s actor and was by far the best one in the cast. However, he was given a dinky little part and wasn't allowed much room. Eugene Levy was made for the role he had, not much to say. The writing is...

  Gee, guess she s shy!
Review created: 06/15/01
by: Witch_Writer -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
Cute romantic-comedy movie. Hanks and Hannah work well together. You laugh and cry.

Cons:
The plot could be stronger, two scenes in particular.

I saw Splash when it first came out. It seemed like everyone was making a big deal out of how good that it was and that it was Ron Howard s first time directing a movie. I must admit that as hokey and silly as this film was I did enjoy it. Splash is about young businessman named Alan (Tom Hanks) who falls for a girl, not knowing that she is a mermaid (Daryl Hannah). She saved him after he falls overboard. She finds his wallet and then finds him in New York City. Her entrance is certainly different. She shows up naked as the day she was born at the Statue of Liberty, WHILE A TOUR IS BEING...
