WARNING, has some spoilers
If your a die hard fan of Tom Hanks or the other cast from the original "Splash", then "Splash Too" may be seen as trash. But I think it is one of the greatest, yet unfortunately obscure sequels ever made! Just like the first, it has fairy tale elements mixed with a sophisticated grown up feel. Who would have ever thought a movie about a mermaid could be for adults, huh? lol. Anyway, it opens up with Madison who is now played by the lovely Amy Yasbeck, who may I add was much much much better than Daryl Hannah, playing with a Dolphin friend named Salty in the sea. it has a great opening sequence. In some ways though, this movie totally contradicts the first. Allen and Madison went back to New York, although the reason they left is because the government was after Madison. So its a bit odd there. But yet still works.
The guy that took over for Tom Hanks is ok. But I prefer Tom. It must have been hard filling Tom's shoes though, so he did a good job in general. In some senses I prefer "Splash Too" to the original. I like Madison's new found power, Salty, Amy Yasbeck as Madison etc.
Also, you see Madison of a mermaid more in the movie. And the story line is more fun. The first was great, but mainly revolved around Madison trying to hide the fact that she was a mermaid. The ice for this movie had been totally broke, and allot more happens in it.
This is the ultimate family Sunday movie!
