Dolphin Tale 2
"Jump! Please?"
Winter, the Florida dolphin with the prosthetic tail (who plays herself) languishes when her companion dies of old age. Winter must be paired with another female or she'll be confiscated by the USDA (what the feds plan to do with her remains unexplained in director Charles Martin Smith's script). The original cast is back: Nathan Gamble (whose only facial expression is a sullen glare), Harry Connick Jr., Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Cozi Zuehlsdorff, Kris Kristofferson, plus a guest cameo from Bethany Hamilton, the amputee whose life was chronicled in Soul Surfer. The movie is sweet, well-intentioned and family-friendly, like an extended episode of the old Flipper TV series. Frankly, it's a little bit dull. But what the he—er, heck; its heart's in the right place and the Florida sunshine is exhilarating.
