    This is a different kind of Tom Hanks movie, but I really love it. It is a classic love story where the man would do anything for the woman no matter who, or what, she is...

    OMG, I remember the first time I saw this. Normally I rate compared to my best, but this deserves(d) to stand out on its own. Pius as a testament to John.

    As much as i hate Tom Hanks, i have to give it to him he's done some rally good films, but unfortunatley this is not one of them. I have had more fun watching paint dry in a monsoon than watching this tripe.

    The boy-meets-girl romantic comedy formula given a literal fairy tale twist in that the girl is really a mermaid. The underwater scenes where Daryl Hannah is a totally believable mermaid are breathtaking in their visual splendor. Also, any film that stars John Candy and Eugene Levy as the comedic relief cannot by any definition not be funny, charming, or entertaining. Splash is all of those. Finally, if I were to have a girl, I love the name Madison. That's right, I'd name my daughter after this movie. Deal with it.

    Tom Hanks and John Candy both had my sides aching from their comedy, I'd have enver guessed John hated Tom whilst filming this movie.

    Daryl does a great job as a silly mermaid trying to make it as a human.
    Eugene is crazy as always.

    A good funny movie to watch when bored or just wanting a little laugh.

    Liked this back in the day comedy, thought it was romantic and sad when he found out who she really was. Loved the way it ended.

    Sometimes I think I prefer Tom Hanks' old cheesy films to his more grown up political ones, and fun films like this are the reason why.
    Perfect film for escapism and to cheer you up, and with a great supporting cast, especially John Candy who never fails to make me laugh.

    a good movie but i would say it's one of those movies where once you've seen it it's not worth watching again.

    This is the usual fish out of water story. Sorry, I had to say it. The acting was fine but the story was pretty plain. You could have put any gimick in and it would be the same movie.
    Tom Hanks was pretty good and you could see that he was more than just a comedy actor in some of the scenes.
    I ha never watched all of the credits before though and this time I saw something I had never scene before. We are shown a small shot of the underwater city where the mermaid had come from. That was pretty cool.
    I liked that john Candy and Levy were in the flick too. They both did good jobs.

    If you grew up in the 80's, you can see why this movie still is a great classic! Great acting from Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah and a story line that can be taken funny as well as seriously. If you didn't see this movie in the 80's you probably won't appreciate it that much. I would rank it with other greats such as Mannequin, Date with an Angel, etc. "Behold, the mermaid!"..lol..

    This gets 4 stars from me because I was a teenager and Daryl Hannah is absolutely HOT! Both she and Hanks hadn't been see in anything by me before this movie but I've watched it plenty of times and I still think it's pretty cool. Get your chick 'round for the evening (although you may be too distracted and get yourself in trouble!).

    Another good movie. I watched it several times. They meet when they're young (for a minute), Daryl, finds his billfold years later after they've grown up and turns it in to the police dept. Tom learns that it was her in the ocean when he was young.
