I watched this off HBO GO over the weekend, having really enjoyed the original 2011 film. I must admit, I am a sucker for movies like this.
The first film told the true story of that dolphin with the prosthetic tail (hence the play-on-words title- "Dolphin Tale"), named "Winter". This sequel tells the story of another dolphin at the hospital named "Hope". After Winter's elderly companion and surrogate mother, Panama, passes away, Winter's future is put in jeopardy, unless our heroes at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium team can find a new companion for her.
The cast is great- no less than Ashley Judd, Morgan Freeman, Harry Connick, Jr., Kris Kristofferson, etc.. And I notice these movies were directed by Charles Martin Smith (who has a supporting role), who seems to have an affinity for wildlife films, having starred in the 1983 classic, "Never Cry Wolf", and directed another good companion piece outdoor film, "The Snow Walker".
Well, if you're into these nature/wildlife wishy washy films dating back to movies like "Born Free", I'd say this is for you, otherwise, head to your local multi-plex and see "The Rock" fight an earthquake in "San Andreas"...LOL
