Synopsis

Dolphin Tale is inspired by the amazing true story of a brave dolphin and the compassionate strangers who banded together to save her life. Swimming free, a young dolphin is caught in a crab trap, severely damaging her tail. She is rescued and transported to the Clearwater Marine Hospital, where she is named winter. But her fight for survival has just begun. Without a tail, Winter's prognosis is dire. It will take the expertise of a dedicated marine biologist, the ingenuity of a brilliant prosthetics doctor, and the unwavering devotion of a young boy to bring about a groundbreaking miracle-a miracle that might not only save Winter but could also help scores of people around the world. -- (C) Warner Bros

Review

Cute movie based on a true story, it’s a great movie to watch as a family. It is a heart-wrenching story that had the wife crying. The script is extremely well written. Nathan Gamble delivers a likeable performance as Sawyer, generating chemistry with both Cozi Zuehlsdorff and Winter. There's also strong support from Ashley Judd (as Sawyer's single mother) and Harry Connick Jr, while Morgan Freeman and Kris Kristofferson try to out-twinkle each other. The true story factor means this movie is very predictable; however you will still recommend it to everyone you know.  Superb movie…from beginning to the “Tale” end.
