The New York Times
Splash may feature a heroine with fins, but it's mostly a standard love story, albeit one with some delightful new twists.

It's too bad the relentlessly conventional minds that made this movie couldn't have made the leap from sitcom to comedy.

Howard demonstrates exactly the correct soft touch, skirting the myriad problems of taste.

Variety
Although film is a bit uneven, production benefits from a tasty look, an airy tone, and a delectable, unblemished performance from Hannah.

Empire Magazine
The movie that really showed Tom Hanks' promise as a deliverer of great comedy and heart-warming pathos.

Hollywood Reporter
It's a rambunctious comedy, coming from director Ron Howard who, with his previous, wacky Night Shift, unarguably shows that beneath that Opie Taylor/Richie Cunningham persona, there's a wild and crazy spirit.

The Washington Post
Splash, an aquacade of myth and laughter, glimmers like moonlit tide. It's an enrapturing underwater romance pairing dry-lander Tom Hanks with mermaid Daryl Hannah (not an easy affair for a nonswimmer).
