Mermaids

Cute, some humor, some romance, pretty reasonable mythos, nice scenery. Could use some polish, but we all agreed that it was far better than we expected from the blurb. Looks like a pilot, hope it gets picked up.

Nothing too deep, just an excellent piece of lightweight entertainment. Elements of romance, murder, adventure, a few funny moments. Three very different mermaid sisters, one tough and lives mostly underwater, another who lives permanently on land and is looking for her soulmate, the third one divides her time pretty evenly between land and sea and is just looking for some fun. Throw in the murder of their father, a couple of unscrupulous characters and a good looking male lead and you have an entertaining couple of hours of escapism. The end looks like a pilot for a TV series, I really hope it gets picked up. I watch very little television, but I'd watch this if it were a series.

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!!!

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!

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
