Eye of the Dolphin, the perfect summer family movie
Summer is the most favored time of the year for movie releases. This summer was no different. You see action packed movies like Transformers or Spider Man3 to family and teen oriented movies like Eye of the Dolphin being released on August 24th 2007.
Eye of the Dolphin was written by 3 time Emmy Award winner Wendell Morries and directed by Michael Sellers. This movie is very well told tale which knows no boundaries and crosses cultures and bonds different generations and keeps in mind the tastes of the current generation of teenagers especially their tastes of humor and edginess.
Eye of the Dolphin family movie is perfect for teen girls – or a father-daughter movie night.
This movie was filmed in exotic locations in Bahamas and as in the title of the movie, features dolphins, some very smart dolphins. You get to see the spectacular locations, travel below and above water with dolphins and all supported by an excellent cast in Carly Schroeder(Gracie), Adrian Dunbar(The Crying Game), Academy Award Nominee Katharine Ross (“The Graduate”), George Harris (“Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix”), Jane Lynch (“Forty Year Old Virgin”) and Christine Adams (“Batman Begins”).
THE STORY
Expelled from high school in Los Angeles, 15 year old Alyssa (Schroeder) is forced to live with her father, a crusty dolphin research scientist Hawk (Dunbar) in the Bahamas who has no time in his life for an unruly teenager. After their personalities clash Alyssa feels like a prisoner on the isolated island — but when she forms an unexpected friendship with an orphaned wild dolphin, she finds that she and her special friend have the power to bring hope to the impoverished people of her new home.
“I give it a ‘A’ for Ah-dor-a-ble. Carly is totally believable. The beautiful water, pristine beaches and amazing animals in the film are pretty powerful”
- Girl’s Life“This fantastic film is in theaters this summer. Do yourself a favor and see it.”

After a three-month bombardment by a blitzkrieg of massively-budgeted Hollywood sequels, many American moviegoers are thirsty for originality. ‘Eye of the Dolphin,’ starring Carly Schroeder (Firewall, The Lizzie McGuire Movie) contains all of the ingredients necessary to slake that thirst; in fact, this film proves to be as thematically refreshing as the crisp Caribbean waters it photographs. ‘Eye of the Dolphin’ contains a handful of genuinely memorable scenes, including a game of tic-tac-toe between a dolphin and marine biologist, as well as a moment in which a dolphin attacks an iPod. Furthermore, ‘Eye of the Dolphin’ is bestowed with underwater cinematography that is truly awe-inspiring.
In addition to Schroeder, ‘Eye of the Dolphin’ possesses an impressive array of cast members, all of whom provide the film with qualitatively dissimilar performances. Schroeder provides the movie’s finest performance as Alyssa, an angst-ridden adolescent whose anguish will doubtlessly inspire pathos from all but the most stoic viewer. Veteran thespian George Harris (perhaps best remembered as Katanga from ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’) portrays Daniel, a Bahamian inhabitant who furnishes ‘Eye of the Dolphin’ with an effective dose of comic relief. Katharine Ross is serviceable as Alyssa’s over-enunciating grandmother, although the 67-year-old actress has demonstrated that she is capable of far better performances, most notably in ‘The Graduate’ and ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.’
Saw it at a film festival, great film!
