It's not a perfect film, mind you. It's too long by a quarter, and actor-turned-director Charles Martin Smith (The Untouchables) lets any sense of real structure slip away in the film's crowded third act.

A true story of animal rescue, and it even stars the sea creature to whom it happened. But it's the humans who do the cutesy tricks that make it a mixed blessing.

Between the earnest boy, his playful mammal, the film from actor-turned-director Charles Martin Smith is a winning family entertainment.
