Vacances inoubliables

I would like to say something about the movie, cause that's what this thing is for, remember? I understand that it's very disappointing when the movie is different from the book you've read. I think the movie was lovely, I haven't read the book, maybe that's better. I would just like to say that if you think a book is wonderful DON'T WATCH THE MOVIE. I think it's good that they've changed the story, so that it's still fun to watch. I don't know if you've ever read the Harry Potter books and watched the movie, but they are very different, but that's the nice thing about it. It has to be interesting. This is what I wanted to say, everybody please shut up about "the book is way better" and so on!

I am in the middle of reading the book, but the only reason I am reading it is because I saw the movie on TV one day and I thought that I should read the book because the movie was so good and interesting. Granted, I missed the first twenty minutes of the movie, but what I saw was really good...and it was a nice, light, easy movie. Mischa Barton was a great choice.

I might be biased because I LOVE DOLPHINS AND MARINE BIOLOGY, but it would have been a good movie nonetheless. Anyways, it made me more interested in dolphins.

By the way...the book is great! You should read it!

Other comments have covered how poorly this Disney made-for-tv cowflop reflects the thoughtful and emotional children's novel on which it was based. Keeping in mind that films and books are independent mediums, with different requirements for developing characters and advancing plotlines, it is sad to see how little care went into this piece.

Watch the dolphin sequences. They were obviously shot in a waterpark or aquarium, and then intercut with shots of the actors in the real sea. The water changes color from shot to shot. Clumsy. Much of the rest of the film follows suit, with bad dialogue and confusing action sequences.

Going back to the book as an adult, I am amazed that a novel aimed at young readers explored the topic of death with both directness and sensitivity. This film explores how cool it would be to have a boyfriend with a speedboat.

most negitive reviews of this movie are by people who loved the book. as i have never read the book, i enjoyed watching the movie with my family. the ever charming mischa barton does what she does best, gets the viewers to like her. she shines as vicky austin and keeps the whole movie together. their are better movies out their and mischa has done better work, but she is good and the movie is worth watching.

I absolutely loved this movie. For one thing, dolphins are one of my favorite animals, and watching them actually not really being held in capivity was really nice.

The movie is about a girl, Vicky (Mischa Barton) who can tell what dolphins are thinking. She and her brother and sister are staying with their grandfather (James Whitmore) for the summer, where they meet Adam (Ryan Merriman). He is studying Marine Biology.

All in all, this movie is one of Disney's best. I thought it was very realistic and was a wonderful story.
