I've never seen the 1960's TV series Flipper, though I can't imagine that it's anywhere near as awful as this 1996 update starring Paul Hogan and Elijah Wood, both experiencing all-time career lows. Hogan has an affable, likable personality, but almost everything he's a part of completely misuses his unique charm, and this is no exception, though he does fare much better than the young Wood, who is so smug and incredibly annoying that I felt the strong desire to slap him every time he appeared onscreen. Flipper is a sappy, schmaltzy, smug, irritating, annoying, lazily-written, badly-acted and, ultimately, completely waterlogged piece of whale blubber. Why waste time saving the dolphins if they're all as manufactured and as devoid of life as this?
