    Sandy Ricks (Elijah Wood) sent to the seaside town of Coral Key to stay with his Uncle Porter (Paul Hogan) to spend the summer. Flipper arrives in Coral Key & is met by Sandy & a girl named Kim (Jessica Wesson). Sandy leaves Coral Key with his mother and little sister the next morning on the ferry home, he sees Flipper & his pod leaping around the boat to see Sandy off.

    This was so frightening! And I don't understand how Uncle Porter is Australian, but Elijah Wood's mother is not!

    this might be good. I like the Flipper movies mostly because I like dolphins, but also because they have good, clean fun in them.

    Ok, i get it. it was a dolphin movie. but i really liked it. elijah wood is one of my favorite actors, and he was so good in this movie. the plot is very sweet, and cmon. WHO DOESN'T LOVE DOLPHINS? and i swear, that face elijah wood makes when he cant go to the red hot chili peppers concert is the same one he makes when gandalf dies in The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring.

    it's cute, but it's definitely aimed for the younger audience. surprisingly, flipper is not about flipper. well, it IS, but the focus of the flick is on elijah wood.

    I liked the Flipper series, but even though they've tried to put in some experienced actors - no, this just isn't the same, sorry.

    This was more hype then I liked..maybe because I was a Flipper t.v. fan back in the oh mid-evil times of t.v. but I didn't like this one.

    An Elijah Wood classic- full of great lines. Wood is smashing in this way underrated comedy about a rebellious teenager and the relationship he forms with a dolphin. I love it...

    Why can't we watch a movie about an animal and have it NOT be an agenda about saving the planet...I am 100% behind eco-awareness, but I mean come on! Why can't movies just be entertaining sometimes???

    Other than Elijah Wood wearing Smashing Pumpkins t-shirts in this, it really didn't hold my interest. Overall, it sucked quite loudly.

    This is actually a pretty good movie. Could be a tear jerker if you let it. Paul Hogan is a total pimp though.

    Well, when I was a kid this got me obsessed with wanting to see a dolphin...and I still haven't...or have I? I saw a whale once if that counts (not!)
