Mermaids (2003)

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A Masterpiece!

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

It sucks to be a mermaid fan. Finding a live-action movie dealing with mermaids is difficult. Here's one that has *three* mermaids, and is online for free, in decent quality. So what if the plot is a pile of clichés and the acting isn't great? I can dig it. But I can't dig these mermaids. Twice I tried to watch this movie and I couldn't. I try to avoid using the word "prep" at all costs, being that I'm almost 30 years old. But I can think of no other word to describe these "mermaids." Never mind that they seem too human-- plenty of tongue-in-cheek fantasy movies do that. I don't care if they're kind of vein or valley-girl-like; Aquamarine was that way and I liked her. But these mermaids transcend that. They aren't preppy in a forgivable, fictional way; these actresses literally say their lines like they have no idea what they're actually saying, and are on the verge of unleashing the typical rehearsed-preppy-girl- laugh at how "dumb" this script is. "Like, OMG mermaids? like that's so weird, Britney! Well, like, Lauren, like, I did kind of like Ariel as a kid. Oh my god let's comb our hair with forks! T'HEHEHEHEHEHEHHEE omygod...no, I'd never really do that, that'd be so weird. Hehe (slowly brushes streaked hair out of face). Let's go to the mall later on. Great directing decision there. This is absolutely the type of person that the typical fantasy fan will relate to and want to watch for an hour and a half.This movie is a cruel taunt to mermaid fans. Fittingly, the movie itself is like the sirens of old; luring you in with the thing you're desperate for, only to deliver your worst nightmare. No matter how much you love mermaids, this just isn't worth it. All you'll find are obnoxious Barbies with fish tails. That's it.

I really loved this film since it was about mermaids. It was nice to see the story of mermaids in a different light. One of the things that these mermaids can do is if you make a wish in front of them they would have to do that wish. One also had the power of a siren and the other two sisters had their own little gadgets that helped them out when they were in a tough spot. One thing that I thought was cool was that if a person found an object of a mermaid then that mermaid had to do whatever that person says to do. The fact that Venus lost her tiara and a guy found and made her preform in front of everyone at the bar wasn't fair to her. I also think it was cool that each mermaid is given a special gift that is there's.I think that anyone who likes mermaid movies will love this one.

I loved it! It was family friendly. Romance but not sex. I loved how it was about sister's (women) who each had their own ability to bring to the table to help avenge their father. Very positive for girls. The costumes were great! Very hip but very sea-like. Kudos to the designer! The acting was very well done. Even though there were unknowns in the lead roles they were very good actors. Special effects were well done. Scenes were nice. Location was very well thought out. Script was good but hey when they begin the series I know it will get better with time. The concept was great. It did look like a pilot. Me and my family are still waiting for the rest of the series. We need more programing like this!

I really liked this movie, I wasn't sure if I would at the beginning but I kept it on the channel and watched it all the way through. It's about 3 mermaid sisters, one of them lives on land, one visits from time to time, and one that hates the land. See these mermaids can get legs when they come ashore, but their fin reshows anytime they get wet. They all three also have special 'powers' so it's kind of like 'Charmed' but with mermaids. The one that hates the land comes ashore because their father has been killed by a fisherman and she wants revenge, but needs her sisters help. I would recommend watching it if you ever see it on and like that sort of thing. =)
