Splash Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
Splash, an aquacade of myth and laughter, glimmers like moonlit tide. It's an enrapturing underwater romance pairing dry-lander Tom Hanks with mermaid Daryl Hannah (not an easy affair for a nonswimmer).
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
A mild and bland slapstick Disney comedy.
The Hollywood Reporter
Duane Byrge
It's a rambunctious comedy, coming from director Ron Howard who, with his previous, wacky Night Shift, unarguably shows that beneath that Opie Taylor/Richie Cunningham persona, there's a wild and crazy spirit.

Rob Vaux
Line up a row of Howard's films and ask someone to choose. Chances are, their hands will fall to Splash as often as any other
Common Sense Media
Heather Boerner
Fishy fairy tale the wrong hook on relationships.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
A romantic comedy that is as salty and bracing as a plunge in the surf.
TV Guide
Director Ron Howard has a good sense of the whimsical, and his film is sweet and unpretentious, though somewhat ribald when one realizes the studio from whence it sprang.
Variety
Variety Staff
Although film is a bit uneven, production benefits from a tasty look, an airy tone, and a delectable, unblemished performance from Hannah.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Hannah does wonders with her thankless job, flitting tiny moments of joy and confusion across her face.
Film Threat
Pete Vonder Haar
It's all been downhill from here for Ron Howard
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It's too bad the relentlessly conventional minds that made this movie couldn't have made the leap from sitcom to comedy.
Reel.com
Sarah Chauncey
Very dated, but still fun
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
Splash is a light-hearted comedy directed by Ron Howard that sparkles here and there thanks to its fairy tale elements.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Splash is probably the ultimate fish-out-of-water film, primarily because it literally features a fish out of water.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Splash may feature a heroine with fins, but it's mostly a standard love story, albeit one with some delightful new twists.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Its appeal is based almost entirely on regression -- a thematic regression to infancy and a stylistic regression to the most lulling kind of TV blandness.
