The team of people who saved Winter's life reassemble in the wake of her surrogate mother's passing in order to find her a companion so she can remain at the Clearwater Marine Hospital.
Dolphin Tale 2 plays out in a fairly tedious way; there's a brief period in a child's development when they will actively seek new and serious drama, yet might still accept fare as bland as this.
It’s not just the fish that swims in circles.
Back in the pool with a cute dolphin, as if Blackfish never happened. Mild fun, but no more, despite comedy pelican.
Wholesome, old-fashioned family fare but just a little on the dull side.
It’s well meaning but unexciting.
It doesn’t have the focus or splash of the original, but Charles Martin Smith’s sequel winningly wears its heart on its sleeve and Winter plays herself to a crowd-pleasing tee.
Sadly, admirable intentions are no substitute for a compelling storyline.
