Review: Dolphin Tale 2 (2014)

I really loved Dolphin Tale, the true-life story of Winter, an injured dolphin saved by the groundbreaking development of a flexible prosthetic tail. I wondered why on earth a sequel was necessary. I was fearful. Would Winter be turned into some superhero-dolphin or something? (Winter, the injured dolphin, is actually played by herself, in both films.) But the sequel, Dolphin Tale 2 is wonderful. I saw it at a screening filled with children, and they ate it up. Laughed in all the right places, talked amongst themselves during stressful moments, asking each other questions. “Is Winter going to be all right?” “What if she doesn’t like the other dolphin though?”

They got it. It’s for them.
