Review of Splash (1984) by Dave L — 02 Jan 2011

Its seeing 80's vintage Tom Hanks and John Candy zig and zag with their dialogue throughout this film which provide the only enjoyment. Despite memories of this being a fondly remembered classic, it turns out, its actually kind of boring and felt extremely long (not a good sign).

Hannah's best scenes were the ones where she wasn't speaking (which also worked for her in Blade Runner). Its not that the story is bad, it's perfectly 80s high concept, its just that everything is kind of dull.
