Recommended by "the algorithm" at Netflix, Dolphin Kick follows the story of a family missing the mother and a boy who has stopped swimming because of that. Boy meets dolphin, dolphin gets boy back into water . Fairly predictable where its going to go next.
On a budget of next to sod all, it looks pretty if nothing else. The location shots/establishing shots are nice, but realistically at this budget point pretty much everything has to give. The script and plot is underdeveloped, the acting relatively ropey and you get the impression everybody has walked out of stage school into this, their first professional role and made a complete hash of it in the process.
On the positive side, the dolphin was adorable and easily the star of the show (cheap to cater for as well). Not a total disaster of a film but realistically you get what you pay for in the end product. It could have been better. No, it should have been better.
