As an adult, I expected more. I knew this wasn't like the original story but the title little mermaid isn't right. They should have called it something else like the curse of the mermaid.. I do believe kids will like te movie and thats why I gave it 5 stars.
This is a Perfect Movie for a Dad to take his young Daughter to see or rent. I read many of the negative reviews for this movie, But I think some people are missing the point... This is a young kids movie. As far as acting goes, for a Kid's Movie, it was not that bad. The little girl that watched it with me loved it! It was also good to see Shirley MacLaine's cameo. Rent it for the kids. Enough Said!
This movie wasn't great but I think some of the reviews are a little harsh.
It was filmed beautifully. I thought some of the costumes were nice and the overall story was shaky but ok. Don't get me wrong though because it did need work. I also thought that there was a lovely song for this movie and the young lady singing had a sweet voice.
This isn't Disney. It only had a $5 million dollar budget comparing that to the $100's of millions spent by Disney easily puts this in the category of low budget films. I chose to consider that when I watch something like this and for that reason, I think this is an "ok" movie. I think there was a lot of effort but not enough cash or time spent in the script.

I felt that the story was good, it was an interesting perspective on the little mermaid, however there's masses of room for improvement. There were a few half-decent actors but the acting was pretty bad overall. The score/music was very basic and repetitive, the editing wasn't great - the film didn't really flow properly - and the script included many cringe-worthy lines. It's what you'd expect from a low-budget film like this one, but if this was done better I think it could have been a really good movie.
So many ignorant people here who don't realise that Disney did not create The Little Mermaid. In actual fact, it's a fairy tale written in 1835 by Hans Christian Andersen. Whilst I agree that this movie has some very bad acting and is a bit slow paced, it's a good story, fairly close to the original story and overall I enjoyed it
