Splash

Here come Hanks and Hannah in our Next 149 Project as we lip-wag about a fruit merchant falling in love with a mythical fish-babe. How can anyone not love this rom-com to the ends of the Earth? Well....we didn’t. Splash was one of Bev’s favourites as a kid, but now she has issues with Allen's attitude and we both wish the movie had been funnier. Hannah is perfectly cast though and there’s definitely fun to be had with this occasionally knee-slapping picture. Ron Howard became a major player as a director after this and he’d go on to do better work, as would his star, Thomas Nice Guy. But enough pre-beefin’. Listen to our full-on beefin’! Dumping Sparkplug Coffee down your throat sounds like a good plan.
