'Dolphin Tale' movie
Adversity abounds on both land and sea in a well-meaning if stridently heart-tugging film about overcoming challenges. A strong cast, including Ashley Judd and Harry Connick Jr., helps move things along.I'll be honest, in the spirit of the honestly shameless heartwarmer "Dolphin Tale" I saw it in a somewhat distracted, agitated state. Forty-five seconds into the opening credits, I'm watching ocean-dwelling dolphins nosing around all sorts of potential dangers (a rusty fishing tackle box, a fateful metal crab trap), and the film's in 3-D, so the dangers loom with exceptional emphasis, and the picture's premise depends on putting the eventually tail-less protagonist — a real-life dolphin named Winter — through all sorts of adversity alongside its human protectors. So I'm thinking: Maybe this isn't for me at this particular time.
