It's definitely a kids movie. it's kind of like a Home Alone type of kids movie.
The kids/scouts trap all of the bikers that have taken over their home town.
The leader of the motorcycle gang which had just gotten out of prison is looking for his son. so he ends up following the ex-wife and current husband who is like a big boy scout to Florida.
the little boy who has been keeping in touch through the mail system tells his real dad that he can't wait to meet him.
once the real dad and his gang get to Florida all heck breaks loose. the kids defeat the motorcycle gang and save the town. it's cute and fun to watch, if you're between the ages 7-14.
So, I took my kids to see Dolphin Tale and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was a beautiful movie with lots and lots of heart, we all cried for winter and the little boy. The actor that played the little boy (Nathan Gamble) was amazing. Dolphin Tale reminded me a lot of a couple of my other favorite animal movies. There were also quite a few actors I recognized in the movie that had several roles in supporting positions. I saw Frances Sternhagen that played the sheriff's wife in Misery with Kathy Bates (whom I adore as an actress). And then I see an actor from my soap All My Kids named James Fitzpatrick, (whom was also in Dolphin Tale). So, I do a little research on the IMDb and find out that James (All My Kids) too, has worked with Kathy Bates, in a movie titled Curse of the Starving Class, also starring James Woods, Louis Gossett Jr. and the actor from ET.(that played the little boy).
But then I noticed that James Fitzpatrick (All My Kids) is in this movie Adventure Scouts, when we watch the movie clip. My girls would like to see this cute looking movie.
Great job actors.
I read several reviews that included this chaps name James Fitzpatrick, so I thought I would slip-on over to Netflix and view his children's film Production, The Adventure Scouts, which the chap wrote-produced-directed…and I found his tale of family and friendship, just as inspirational as the handicapped dolphin Winter, with a bit more humor, mind you.
Mr Fitzpatrick once again portrayed the paternal character in the film, yet with a bit more tongue and cheek involved and performed the role with an ease. It appears that several other actors have appeared in numerous Productions with Mr Fitzpatrick. Actors Corbin Timbrook and Jodi Knotts, specifically. I am guessing peers and/or cohorts.
All in all, I enjoyed the flicker.
Both of our children were laughing and jumping around on the living room floor the duration of this kiddie flick. Their favorite character was the goofy biker named grunt. he was by and large the most entertaining actor in the film.
As far as parents are concerned, obviously, there also a nice message of ending-up with a spouse that you're both more fitted for. The ex-husband was childish and still a biker well into his 40's.
They also liked the storyline of the town's children (The Adventure Scouts) saving the town by defeating the bikers with their newly learned camping and scouting techniques.
We gave it a ten for pure fun and innocent entertainment.
