Did you stop for once and wonder why of all genres, this movie is a Fantasy Comedy? Well, that’s because there was a mermaid! The storyline was more fairytale-like as it involved a bachelor who hopelessly fell in love with a kind-hearted mermaid who rescued him from drowning.

Following the kind work she did 25 ago, the mermaid came visiting, all the way from her “underwater habitat” to New York City. Like the government always do — in movies especially — they capture her for some experiment and research in one of their labs.

The head over heels in love bachelor plans and attempts a daring rescue to prove his love. The lead roles were Tom Hanks, Darryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, and John Candy.

However, a big-profile murder case piqued his interest in an uncanny way and he dives right in to dig up information and uncover the truth with the resources at his disposal.

While at this, the entire staff had to handle their personal issues and challenges. It was once again directed by what I feel must have been a household name then — Ron Howard.
