About
You may enjoy this if you want a light, fairy-tale-style romance with palace intrigue and mermaid magic, similar in spirit to Dolittle; Not for you if you need tight plotting, strong action, or convincing effects.
Pros: lavish costumes and settings; family-friendly fantasy tone; simple moral message | Cons: predictable, formulaic story; uneven acting energy; rough-looking effects
