    Mermaid sisters avenge the death of their father on land.

    I loved it! It was family friendly. Romance but not sex. I loved how it was about sister's (women) who each had their own ability to bring to the table to help avenge their father. Very positive for girls. The costumes were great! Very hip but very sea-like. Kudos to the designer! The acting was very well done. Even though there were unknowns in the lead roles they were very good actors. Special effects were well done. Scenes were nice. Location was very well thought out. Script was good but hey when they begin the series I know it will get better with time. The concept was great. It did look like a pilot. Me and my family are still waiting for the rest of the series. We need more programing like this!

    awesome movie that could be made into a series..

    I really liked this movie, I wasn't sure if I would at the beginning but I kept it on the channel and watched it all the way through. It's about 3 mermaid sisters, one of them lives on land, one visits from time to time, and one that hates the land. See these mermaids can get legs when they come ashore, but their fin reshows anytime they get wet. They all three also have special 'powers' so it's kind of like 'Charmed' but with mermaids. The one that hates the land comes ashore because their father has been killed by a fisherman and she wants revenge, but needs her sisters help. I would recommend watching it if you ever see it on and like that sort of thing. =)

    Could have been worse...

    I had the opportunity to watch this movie one night on PAX tv. It is about three mermaid sisters who are looking for revenge on the fisherman who murdered their father. One of the sisters lives on land, the other comes up every now and then for a "good time" and the third has never set foot on the ground before and hates all human beings. This provides some extra conflict when deciding what to do about the fisherman, which I have to admit really helped the story along. There are several subplots of sibling rivalry, romance, etc. some of which probably could have been left out. The special effects really were not bad for a low budge-made for tv movie. They also explore a lot of old mermaid lore, which was pretty interesting. All in all it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you liked the movie "Splash" I would give this one a chance. Who knows; you might get HOOKED. LOL

    "A beautiful mermaid movie"

    I liked this movie so much I believe that it should be a TV series. Three beautiful young mermaids who have the ability to have legs while they're dry and have

    tails when they're wet (an idea seen in the movie 'Splash' 1984). I loved the way these three mermaids had magical powers.

    Diana the oldest (and wisest of the three) has this hair clip which can transform into a powerful pitch-fork which can cut through anything. Diana also has super-strength.

    Venus has the power to hypnotize men, and seduce them into doing anything she wants. She can also make men lose their memory.

    June has this magical mirror which allows her to have visions, i.e. allows her to see things that are happening else where.

    There was also one other thing all these mermaids were capable of: making a high pitched scream which can shatter glass. These mermaids refer to humans as "mortals". Their only weakness is that if a "mortal" makes a wish to them, these mermaids would have to grant the wish.

    These three mermaids from the start of the film have chosen three different paths in life. Diana has chosen to live in the sea with her father, while Venus and June have both chosen to live on land with humans. Venus works as an "aquatic dancer" in a restaurant and June works as a staff member in an aquarium. So all three have gone separate ways until their father is murdered by an unscrupulous fisherman. All three sisters reunite to bring their father's killer to justice. But their reunion doesn't go smoothly they have a number of disputes with each other but soon learn to resolve them. So to me this film is like a soap opera, comedy and fantasy all combined into one film.

    This is a very beautiful and enjoyable film and I very much recommend it!

    luv Mermaids 2003

    I am an elderly man (who still likes cute romantic movies).My only complaint with "Mermaids 2003" is that it has NOT come out on DVD yet so that I can purchase a copy for my 9 yr old gr-dau who also likes mermaid movies. I would approve and promote this this movie to any parent. Its perfect for FAMILY viewing and entertainment. And I agree with a previous comment that it is too bad that this movie never made it to a series production, which only proves a lot of GARBAGE is acceptable over good family themes. OKEY, thats my soapbox of the day, except that I would truly enjoy a sequel!!!

    If the movie "Memaids 2003" is going to be released on DVD, how can I be placed on a mailing list or notified of its availability? I really would like a copy because for anyone looking for good, clean, and very enjoyable entertainment to watch with their children, THIS IS IT!!!

      The movie was shot in Australia with an Australian cast, but everyone uses an American accent, setting the movie in the US.
    • Goofs
      Venus says with her tiara gone she was a suffragette. This is a misunderstanding of the words since a suffragette is a female voter, not someone who suffers.
