A bummed-out teenager (Carly Schroeder) goes to the Bahamas to live with her estranged dad. There, she discovers she can, uh, talk to dolphins. This, of course, winds up being exactly what she needs not only to make her troubled teen life better, but also to save the day. If this premise weren’t ridiculous enough, the slapdash execution of director Michael Sellers and the distractingly bad acting from Schroeder, Adrian Dunbar (who, as the American dad in the Bahamas, has an inexplicable tendency to lapse into an Irish accent) and Katharine Ross (really, Elaine Robinson, is this the best your agent could do?) come together to make Dolphin little more than a bigger-budgeted TV movie.
