The critical consensus

A good shout if your kids like this sort of thing, otherwise best head to your local aquarium.

***(*)(*)Eve Barlow, Empire Online, 10/10/2011

A film as slick, charming and eager-to-please as a SeaWorld cetacean.

***(*)(*)Matt Maytum, Total Film, 12/10/2011

Dolphin Tale deserves credit for sidestepping into darker waters.

***(*)(*)Michael Hann, The Guardian, 13/10/2011

Earnest family drama is strictly for animal lovers.

Paul Greenwood, Evening Times, 13/10/2011

Two hours of redemptive hugs, triumphant whoops and tearful smiles later we learn that pinning a tail on a dolphin is, on the scale of human achievement, not far behind winning the Nobel Peace Prize and discovering a cure for cancer. Well done everyone!

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 14/10/2011

Dolphin Tale should do wonders for the sales of Kleenex (other brands are available).

Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 14/10/2011

The only thing distinguishing this from a TV movie is the decision to film it in rubbish 3D.

**(*)(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 14/10/2011

All good, positive stuff; just a pity the plot piles on the angst instead of keeping things simple.
