80sfilms

Who knew that such a goofy idea would take hold like 1984’s rom com Splash?

The film starred Tom Hanks, who before this film was a relatively unknown TV actor with “Bosom Buddies” as his biggest credit to date, and was directed by Ron Howard, who took years to put his “Happy Days” behind him.

The film costarred Daryl Hannah (as a mermaid), and John Candy as Hanks’ character’s brother.

Hannah and Hanks share a genuine chemistry that makes their love story all the sweeter, and Candy and Hanks provide plenty of laughs.

Splash is a family-friendly film that everyone can enjoy for its good, clean fun and cute love story.
