Overrated and overhyped
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Great story ruin by not using the right seal and its a family's and new england aquarium story True stories should use the true seal and location Maine is cheaper than the west coast. Go to rock port Maine and see the harbor where he lived and died. Also to his weather home at the new england aquarium is a story all its self and his trip north harbor by harbor is one of a kind story ruined by cheap Hollywood.I say get a new writers for the true Andre story harbor seal and all and not one little girl but 3. The father who loved him and went swimming with him and he played best man at his wedding. The acting was good but the story was lost in the bad screen play
This is probably my favorite movie ever. Its amazing.. i've probably seen it at least 50 times. It's a great movie for the whole family and I promise anyone who sees it will love it. You will want to watch it over and over again, one time is not enough. Three times is really not enough. The story of a seal and the family who takes him in is amazing, all of the details which are added make it even better. All of the characters are interesting. The movie will make you laugh and cry, but you'l'l be smiling all the way through. It makes you want to find a seal of your own, if thats possible. The characters are people you will want to meet, if not for their great personality then for your own amusement. When I have children, I will show them this movie at least as many times as I have seen it. You should watch this movie- it's my absolute favorite and you will definitely love it.
Believe me, if you are trained as a critic and then find yourself sifting through the tripe offered as family fare, you really appreciate a decent film you can watch with your kids. Andre is such a film, kinda, but to watch it I have to swallow my queasiness at the extravagant antics of the seal. Fer Sure the dancing and prancing was not part of the "true story". Surely the story is charming enough (for kids) without having to saccharinise the seal. Let's teach kids to love animals for what they are, and respect them. So, nearly a good film, but nowhere near the league of a film like Storm Boy, which softens reality enough for kids without taking away the dignity of the animal protagonists. Munchies for this movie: American style brownies (seal coloured brown - I must admit Andre looked chocolatey enough to eat. Beautiful animal). Sweetened 1/2sugar, 1/2 saccharine, Few drops of fish oil if you want to add your own authenticity to the experience.
Andre has to be one of my all-time favorite movies. I read the book for a science project and was thrilled when it was made into a movie. Although it didn't follow the book exactly, I thought it was good nevertheless. Tina Majorino is a wonderfully gifted actress, and did a great job in her roll of Toni. The casting was well done, period. The sea lion (although it was supposed to be a seal) is adorable. It is a heart-warming, must-see movie.
