A "what happened next" DVD extra that got stretched to feature length. Gee, Boss, it's looking a bit thin in a number of places. No problem. Just toss in a whole bunch of slo-mo kids swimming with dolphins, some adolescent angst and tantrums, and Morgan Freeman cracking wise. They'll never notice. "Science doesn't know if dolphins feel emotions the same way we do," intones adolescent narrator Sawyer Nelson at the outset. So it's possible that they will not view this sequel to 2011's surprise hit about a dolphin who gets a prosthetic tail with boredom, frustration at the dolphin ex machina, or annoyance at its willingness to rely almost entirely on the good will built by the original. Director Charles Martin Smith apparently kept the true story in mind while he was fashioning his fiction, but there's more emotion and drama in the three minutes of documentary footage that close the film than in anything that precedes it.
