This movie is very fun to watch. It's not the best directed nor is it a masterpiece of any kind, but I guarantee it will make you laugh and feel cozy on the inside if you are just looking for a fun movie to watch with the family. The movie has a good enough plot to keep you entertained and the acting is not the best but will not leave you cringing. I always come back after some time to watch it and laugh again at its quirky nature. The characters are endearing and the setting is charming, making it a delightful escape from reality. Plus, the humor is light-hearted and perfect for all ages. Whether it's the slapstick moments or the heartfelt scenes, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

First of all thanks to the director, is rare to see now a film where there is no camera shaking, thank you for going back to slow camera pans and steady shots, that and the visuals made me enjoy the film.

Dr. Thomas Bradley (Billy Zane) is a bumbling Oxford University professor of classical Greece. He is given one more summer to finish his database of ancient Greek. Another professor offers him a villa in Spetses, Greece. He travels there with his 12 year old daughter Serena. Captain Mavros sends him overboard. Thomas can't swim and he's rescued by mermaid Neried (Kelly Brook). Serena is looking for love for his father and asks Neried to translated old writings.

This is sort of like a bad kids movie. It's got sloppy slapstick. Billy Zane is wrong for a bumbling professor but the little girl is perfectly fine. I can't believe this got shown in Cannes. That is the last place to show this. This is a weakly made kids fantasy. It's more straight to video.

The only good thing in this movie are the quotes. It's all so corny and ridiculous, my family quotes it all the time.

Simple, innocent and romantically fun. A good family movie to enjoy.
