    This is a decent romantic comedy from the 80's. Stars Tom Hanks who falls in love with a mermaid played by Daryl Hannah. This is decent movie that has some funny moments. Tom and Daryl Hannah do have that chemistry for the film. The movie also has a great supporting cast. I enjoy...( read more)ed it. Worth at least a one time watch.
