Review of Free Willy: Escape from Pirate's Cove (2010) by Jim W — 25 Apr 2010

Bindi Irwin stars as a girl who's sent to live with her grandfather (Beau Bridges) after her father injures himself and is stuck in a hospital bed for a few weeks. Her grandfather owns a rundown little amusement park and when Bindi befriends a killer whale, he uses it as a feature attraction at his park.

The movie is cute and harmless and actually better than the other Free Willy sequels. The film has a lot of the same storyline as the first movie. While I find it silly that a different person just happened to give the whale the same name that the whale had in the previous films. The movie is good for the whole family though. I also think Bindi could have a career in movies, since she's actually a better actor than a lot of the young stars these days.
