	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"Howard is not afraid to commit to the potentially sillier aspects of the story, inviting the audience to participate (...) And Hanks is terrific (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Janet Maslin 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] could have been shorter, but it probably couldn't have been much sweeter"	POS
United States	Richard Schickel Time	"A romantic comedy that is as salty and bracing as a plunge in the surf."	POS
United States	Rita Kempley The Washington Post	"[It's] as irresistible as the siren's song"	POS
United States	Variety Staff Variety	"Although film is a bit uneven, production benefits from a tasty look, an airy tone, and a delectable, unblemished performance from Hannah who couldn’t be better cast if she were Neptune’s daughter incarnate."	POS
