MPAA RATING: PG-13 for some substance abuse involving a young teen
Starring Carly Schroeder, Jane Lynch, Christopher Herrod, Adrian Dunbar, and George Harris
Fourteen-year-old Alyssa has been living with her grandmother Lucy since the death of her mother the year before. It's been a tough year for both of them, but then, Lucy decides it's time for Alyssa to go to the Bahamas to live with Hawk, dedicated dolphin researcher and the father she never knew she had. Alyssa's arrival on the island comes at a decisively inconvenient time for Hawk, who is busy fighting greedy politicians and "experts" determined to turn his research center into a tacky tourist attraction. It's a prickly relationship between Hawk and Alyssa, but Tamika, Hawk's girlfriend, and Daniel, Tamika's father, smooth the way. Alyssa soon adjusts to island life and discovers the gift she shares with her father for communicating with dolphins. It is a skill that leads her into a powerful relationship with a wild dolphin, which her father, for legitimate scientific reasons, cannot condone. But when the powers that be threaten to close down her father's research station, it is Alyssa and her wild friend who hold the key and the power to bring all parties together. (Monterey Media)

Absolutely, loved this movie. It was beautifully made, the Bahamian scenery was gorgeous, the actors were fun and the dolphins were adorable! I loved that it had a story to tell about the father daughter relationship and that it had a young hero in the mix. The main character was a young teen who helped make a difference in the lives of her community and the lives of the local dolphins. I thought it was so cute and that it is something that can teach people a cool lesson about taking care of the environment and animals. I highly suggest watching it with your loved ones!
