Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I hadn't seen this movie since I was probably nine years old or something like that. But I recently found it at Walmart and loved it. Chelsea Field is amazing in this movie.

It would be so nice to invite Andre over for dinner.... smothered in melted butter with an apple stuck in his mouth.A 'family film', supposedly based on a true story, "Andre" is an obnoxious seal whose most endearing quality is when he makes a fart sound with his lips -- aww, how cute. "Dad, can we keep him?".Keith Carradine obviously didn't have anything better to do when he accepted the role of an irresponsible seaport patrolman, Tina Majorino is cute as the little girl who befriends the slippery beast, and pretty Aidan Pendleton plays Tina's older sister who has more brains than anybody else in township because she hates Andre almost as much as I do and would like to see him cooked by 6:30 tonight.You know, seal really is good if you season it right.

This is probably my favorite movie ever. Its amazing.. i've probably seen it at least 50 times. It's a great movie for the whole family and I promise anyone who sees it will love it. You will want to watch it over and over again, one time is not enough. Three times is really not enough. The story of a seal and the family who takes him in is amazing, all of the details which are added make it even better. All of the characters are interesting. The movie will make you laugh and cry, but you'l'l be smiling all the way through. It makes you want to find a seal of your own, if thats possible. The characters are people you will want to meet, if not for their great personality then for your own amusement. When I have children, I will show them this movie at least as many times as I have seen it. You should watch this movie- it's my absolute favorite and you will definitely love it.

A classic cheese sandwich! one more pause for a grin by the little girl and the free willy rip off would have exploded! Admittedly the seal was excellent but the rest was poor. Every time there was a shot of the mother she was in the kitchen it was being slightly stereotypical! The dad hung around the bar for the entire film either that or he was building a bath for the seal. All in all it should be banished back to the library where it came from and left for a weepy Sunday afternoon kids movie.
