Tom Hanks in Splash plays some guy named Allen who as a kid saw a child mermaid in the water and I think John Candy played his brother in the film but not 100% certain. Ever since his childhood ordeal he has never forgotten it and wishes for true love when he's adult age (a fully grown man) but nobody wants him so downs his sorrows in drink and alcohol. One day or night he goes to Cape Cod because he feels happy there yet he doesn't know why but after an accident he nearly drowns but is rescued. Waking up on dry land he sees a naked woman who swims away and that's the end until she tracks him down due to him leaving his wallet or something in the water with his home address on it. Later Tom Hanks finds out the lady is a mermaid yet he was in love with her and feels embarrassed and stupid. The ending of the film is a happy ending but you'll just have to see it to find out the ending but Splash is a good film but it has it's flaws and faults so I can't give it a 10 rating. The main problem with Splash is though even funny at times the larger than life John Candy as Freddie is also very annoying and acts like he's in a completely different film to everyone else because he's too over the top and loud. The second problem is Eugene Levy is a bit pathetic but besides that this film is okay. Not great but okay.… Expand
