Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah supported by Eugene Levy and John Candy are hilariously divine!!! This film spawns an era of greats!! The late John Candy would be my favorite as big brother Freddy. He lovingly gives his advice to Tom Hanks' character in a way that only a pervert could love!
Eugene Levy, the pesky scientist-turned-mermaid-seeker, is funny and clever in his antics. He tries in vain to prove that Daryl Hannah (Madison) is a mermaid. He ends up scoring a broken arm, busted tooth, and a damaged reputation.
I would have loved to see a "Splash II", but considering that it would all have to be filmed underwater, I don't think anyone would give it a try.
Tom has gone on to make it big with such greats as "Saving Private Ryan", "Forest Gump", and "That Thing You Do" but I still consider his "debut" to be "Splash". He is the greatest.
