Um, no. (Unless it comes out on B3D, and then only as a discount rental at 3BR.com.)

The trailer looks generically harmless (the word for a movie with Morgan Freeman in it these days), but if it hadn't been a true story, it would've played like a Lincoln's-doctor's-dog parody of post-summer family-value films:
"Kid-and-dolphin movies are good...Inspirational amputee movies are good...Now, if we only had an inspirational amputee dolphin!

"

The trailer didn't make me think too highly of this movie. And that made it something I wasn't dying to see. But I saw it and it was good for what it was. It definitely plays more and better as an inspirational story like Soul Surfer than an animal story like Free Willy or Flipper.

They should just made the movie about Flipper instead!

Nah, they already did that fifteen years ago, with Frodo Baggins and Crocodile Dundee.

This is actually a pretty good movie. My kids really enjoyed it as well.

I saw an advanced screening for this months ago (so things may have changed since then). I would say it's good for kids but less entertaining for adults.

Well I am 48 years old and I plan on going to see it this weekend.

The screening I went to had a lot of screaming, fidgety kids. Have fun.
