Dolphin Island is a fun, family-friendly film. The photography was quite good and the location was lovely. Anna's story was touching - orphaned at five years old. And her loving grandfather, Jonah, gave up his career as a history professor at Cambridge to take over her care and run the marine institute her parents had founded. Jonah was quite realistic in that he got angry when provoked and made a couple of poor choices that added conflict to the story. The friendship between Anna and Mitzy, the dolphin, was sweet! I liked watching them swim and play together. I really appreciated that there was no foul language and that even though they were in a tropical location, there wasn't an overabundance of skin on display. Ana wore a one-piece swimsuit when she was in the water and dressed tastefully and modestly when on land. While lighthearted for the most part, a conflict brought a somber element that helped balance the rest. My husband and I both felt that the acting was, at times, a little over the top. Especially at the beginning. Some situations were simply implausible - and not just because the film targeted a younger audience. Overall, I recommend this for anyone looking for a wholesome film for the whole family to enjoy. Many thanks to Collide Distribution for providing this product/product information for review.

Teenager Annabel Coleridge has been living with her fisherman grandfather in the Bahamas after the death of her parents as to the wishes of the will. Her other grandparents are rich New Yorkers and are working to gain custody with the help of a sleazy lawyer. The writing is clunky at best. There is a lot of bending over backwards to add drama to the custody battle. It would be simpler to buy off the judge. That would be more acceptable. There has been a few of these movies where island vacation spots are trying to diversify their businesses with some moviemaking. The result has been underwhelming so far. They do have the sunshine and beaches. This lead girl is pretty and somewhat effervescent but in the end, it's not enough. The actors are generally second tier but the writing is even less. It's not enough.

Grandfather made a horrendous first impression on a social worker and blames her when she documents it. Dialogue is dreadful and poorly delivered. Save yourself the time, don't watch this movie.

This movie could have been good but just really fell flat. Loved the views, the dolphin especially and the idea of the movie, but the writer's failed to make it flow properly by rushing certain areas of the plot. The relationship between the grandfather and the social worker felt creepy and rushed because her son is the same age as his granddaughter. The acting was either too toned down or too fake looking to feel realistic. From the main cast to the minor appearances, it just sounded flat. It could have been better if they had changed areas of the story and got more realistic emotions from the cast. Plus the court scene was cringeworthy in both acting and dialog. Plus it shouldn't have been that easy for the lawyer to get his hands on the social worker's files. Plus Annabelle seems way more immature and naive than children I've met her age.

At the center of our story is Annabel, a young happy-go-lucky woman living with her grandfather. Everything in Annabel's life is turning up roses: living the beach life with a loving parental figure and a dolphin for a best friend. Our antagonists are quickly established as Anna's other set of grandparents swoop in with the shadiest lawyer to whisk her away back to the states. What could've been a simple story is surprisingly sweet, mostly due to the development of the characters and the strength of the actors. What begins as a relative innocent movie progresses to a frantic ending that will keep viewers engaged throughout. Acting wise, Tyler Jade Nixon anchors the film as Annabel, our quirky heroine who's life is just as sunny as the island she lives on. Annabel is carefree with no worries (ah, to be young again) and Nixon plays the part wonderfully. Peter Woodward is the highlight of the film (sorry, Mitzy), showing a nice range of caution, jolly, distraught, and a hint of what could become desperate loneliness. Paired with Woodward is Dionne Lea Williams and together they have a comfortable chemistry that's equally believable and sweet. Bob Bledsoe's mustache-twirling Robert Carbunkle also shines and it's plain to see Bledsoe is having an immense amount of fun playing the shifty lawyer. Directed by Mike Disa, Dolphin Island is no easy task: along with an ensemble cast of humans, Disa also makes great use of Mitzy; the titular dolphin of the story and Annabel's best friend. Mitzy's use is sporadic at first, but as the third act ramps up, the perpetually helpful mammal becomes just as important as Annabel. Disa also has a great eye for both the camera and characters on the screen. Props must be given to the cinematography: full use of the gorgeous blue waters, white sands, tropical settings, and bright sun are put on display here. The establishing shots are marvelous to see and Disa chooses not to skimp on them. Overall, Dolphin Island is an incredibly sweet, fun film that can be enjoyed by all. A wonderful family movie with warmth, heart, and earnestness, it's a joy to watch. Solid performances, lush visuals, and good directing all combine to tell a feel good story in a tight, tidy 91 minutes. In a world that's become increasingly bitter, uplifting movies are always appreciated and this one is a fine addition to a weekend movie watching playlist. Dolphin Island's production was sandwiched between Hurricane Dorian hitting the Bahamas and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help ease their financial burden, proceeds of the film are being given to the local cast and crew who on both sides of the camera. If you're looking for something new to watch as a family unit and you're interested in helping a nation get back on its feet, look no further than Dolphin Island. There's a number of platforms that are carrying the movie, all of which you can find here.

After losing her parents, fourteen-year-old Annabel has moved in with her grandfather a fisherman, on a Caribbean Island where her best friend is a dolphin named Mitzy. However, her maternal grandparents don't see this as a suitable life for a young girl and come to take her away. We don't often watch family films here, but this is a cute story about finding the family that you want, not the one you are necessarily born into. Peter Woodward (who was in The Patriot) is really good in this as the grandfather. It's a nice film for young audiences who are animal lovers and may not have seen many coming of age movies. Mike Disa, who directed this, comes from the animation world, having directed films like Dante's Inferno and Dead Space - based on the video games - and kids movies like Space Dogs: Adventure to the Moon, Postman Pat: The Movie and Hoodwinked Too! There's a horror connection as well, as writer Shaked Berenson produced Turbokid, JeruZalem, Slaxx, Tales of Halloween and The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot.
