Review of Mermaid

Mermaid (2000 TV Movie)
6/10
Good True Story. But Low budget movie.
3 September 2023
It's a heartwarming, wholesome True Story about a young girl and family grieving the death of a parent/husband. The only reason I didn't mind the movie is because I knew it was a true story. But the movie is lacking in many places. It's definitely a lower budget film. Simply put. Its boring. The story is wonderful, but very simple. And not told very well. There's very little to the movie and it drags on for too long. The filming style is even boring and not well done. The lead actress Jodelle Ferland was not the right actress. And Samantha Mathis didn't help in playing the role of the mother. She didn't have enough nurturing nature to her. It felt like she was a stranger with this kid. I didn't get the mother daughter vibes.

Because it's a true story, it's heartwarming knowing that sometimes God helps the smallest of people out. And there are good people out there. But I wish the movie would have been made a little better to show and get the message out. I felt disappointed by it.
