163 minutes of my life utterly wasted...
Unfortunately I hired the long version! A pretentious, treacle-powered snail's-pace film with terrible over-acting from Arquette.
Brief shots of the incredible dolphins. I could have watched 163 minutes of these angelic creatures.
Don't be fooled - this is a meandering mush mash that is two hours too long. Leave it on the shelf. Ignore the hype; go and hire something else - like 'The Chorus' or 'Il Postino.'
Luc Besson should be ashamed of himself.
French smash-hit, indeed. What does that say about French cinema!?
