I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Too many fans seem to be blown away

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Camera work and acting reminds me of cinnimax at night's bad pornos.

LITTLE MERMAID is a great new adult take on a familiar fairy tale! As another reviewer wrote, this is not pre-chewed Disney stuff for kids. This is gritty, real and dark, so it is definitely for adults. But I loved it. The story is creative in its re-telling, the cast is top-notch and I loved the look which kind of reminded me of Pusher or Bronson. If you're looking for the underbelly of the Disney story, this is it and it's really entertaining! BRAVO!

I wanna start with, this movie was far from perfect. Far. But this much negativity isn't warranted. Also, it says based off of the ORIGINAL story by Hans Christian Andersen. Not based off the cartoon version by Disney. I got from the movie what I got from the original fairy tale. The OG fairy tales were dark and some of them (including The Little Mermaid) had sexual parts. Was she a stripper in the original story? No. But the prince made her dance for him. So I can see the inspiration there. SPOILER ALERT He sleeps with another woman (and marries her) in the original story. And they end the exact same. If you have a problem with this ending then I suggest not reading the OG story and stick to your kid friendly cartoon.The acting by most of the actors was great I felt like. The main stripper girl and the guy at the beginning could've been better..... The sound was atrocious in some parts. Most of these people don't have many credits to their name (besides the sound guy surprisingly..............) so I think it was good all things considered. Would've rated a couple of stars lower had the negative reviews not been so drastically harsh.

Besides the gorgeous actress who plays Ariel, this was a movie that I wish I had not watched. Only... it does now make me curious to read the original tale and see what liberties were taken by these guys and by Disney. Very low budget and really comes across like a college film project, very few characters and very cheap sets and simple dialogue. Everything is left to the imagination!
