L'île au dauphin

Dolphin Island is a touching, heartfelt, beautiful movie. Fun entertainment for the whole family. Highly recommended!

Dolphin Island is an emotional, inspiring, feel-good movie! It demonstrates the significance of communal friendships and familial bonds. I enjoyed the themes of good vs evil and the power of love, and how it offers a true bonding experience.

This is such a positive and satisfying film. I quickly connected to Jonah Coleridge and his teen granddaughter, Annabel. Their relationship is exceptionally sweet, and though their Dolphin Island houseboat is an unconventional home, it is filled with tenderness, acceptance, and love. The island neighbors are fun and diverse, and Annabel's best friend, a lovable dolphin named Mitzi, might be the dearest Island member of all.

There are so many great characters/actors in this movie. My favorites are:

Jonah Coleridge, played by Peter Woodward (THE PATRIOT) Annabel Coleridge, played by Tyler Jade Nixon (DOLPHIN KICK) Mateo, Annabel's sly, lovable friend, played by Aaron Burrows Mr. Carbunkle, the easy-to-dislike lawyer played by Bob Bledsoe (PARKS AND RECREATION)

I enjoyed every aspect of this tale. It made me giggle, cry, grimace, and sigh, but ultimately left me beaming. Dolphin Island a clean, meaningful, and soul-stirring film suitable for the entire family.

Teenager Annabel Coleridge has been living with her fisherman grandfather in the Bahamas after the death of her parents as to the wishes of the will. Her other grandparents are rich New Yorkers and are working to gain custody with the help of a sleazy lawyer.

The writing is clunky at best. There is a lot of bending over backwards to add drama to the custody battle. It would be simpler to buy off the judge. That would be more acceptable. There has been a few of these movies where island vacation spots are trying to diversify their businesses with some moviemaking. The result has been underwhelming so far. They do have the sunshine and beaches. This lead girl is pretty and somewhat effervescent but in the end, it's not enough. The actors are generally second tier but the writing is even less. It's not enough.

Without giving away too much of the story, I can tell you it has the same overtones as the 1960's TV series, FLIPPER, but updated to modern times. If you are old enough to remember this fun, family- oriented TV series, you know it involved an extraordinarily intelligent dolphin that was "best friends" with two main teenage characters, Sandy and Bud, and he often helped rescue one (or both) from a dangerous situation surrounding the sea. The TV series was entertaining and full of family values. It is the same with DOLPHIN ISLAND. While it may not be the best film I have ever seen, it was good, and I would recommend it for families and/or youth groups. On the website, you can even download a FREE 5-Session DISCUSSION GUIDE to help with group discussions, covering the topics of courage, faith, and forgiveness.

Perfect movie to get your mind off of your troubles. True it is temporary but still it is better than nothing. Last year was crazy and we all can use a break even if it is for an hour and a half.

"Dolphin Island" is about a 14 year old who lives with her grandfather who is a fisherman. Challenges occur when her grandmother on her mom's side wants to take her. Guess who becomes her friend? Mitzy, a dolphin.

Full of family values that you will want to share. Totally would suggest this movie be in your watch list.
