That was an excellent one.

Instant Favorite.

Don't listen to the negative reviews

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

99 times out of a hundred, my husband and I are disappointed in the children's films we rent for our chitlins. In one way or another, the content becomes either extremely wacky or there are scenes we would prefer our little pups not to see. Moreover, before we rented the film we read the reviews and the marks for the qualtiy...and we weren't enthusiastic about taking the risk. With that being said, the kids seemd to enjoy the movie, my husband liked seeing a couple of his NFLers playing roles and I coughed-up a few laughs myself. There were a couple slower moments than the rest of the movie, but no movie's perfect. I will probably end-up buying the movie because my kids have already asked to rent it again, soooooooooo, 8 out of 10 is my overall grade.

My 8 & 10 year old daughters and I watched "The Adventure Scouts" several times in a row and enjoyed it more and more each time. We laughed our tails off, as the 'Scouts' took down the motorcycle gang. We all LOVED it! This is a perfect family movie and I couldn't recommend it enough. The message was positive and although there were some heavy topics addressed...you leave feeling good with lots to think about. It did a great job bringing up real issues like the importance of family, self- image, pride, acceptance of those who are different, self-worth, homeschooling. It addresses family relationships, friendship with those who are different and public school issues! This movie opens opportunity for discussion with your kids or you can just go and enjoy the story. We can't wait to see it again!

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.

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.
