Review of A Mermaid for Christmas

This film spoke to our hearts for more reasons than one. Of course, the Christmas message added so much to the movie- we simply cannot imagine the film taking place without it. In a particularly moving scene, Daphne rushed up to a delightful Santa impersonator on the street and embraced him with immense passion- truly inspiring! Really showed us the true meaning of Christmas. Also, the tie-ins to the classic best-selling book Greek Mythology (which might go over the average viewer's head, but is well appreciated by those like us who have studied the classics) are poignant and well-executed. Our hearts shattered for Pericles as we witnessed him unjustly friendzoned. We shared in the witch's wrath when she cursed Daphne for friendzoning our beloved Pericles. And we followed Daphne on her journey to redemption for her heinous sin. One thing that we should learn from this film is how accepting the family was of the mermaid. They did not think twice about allowing her to take refuge in their salt-water swimming pool. We all shed a single tear when we saw Vanessa come back from beyond the grave and fondly call her husband by his classic nickname, "Corn Dog". We had such instant fondness for this nickname so much that we are referring to each of our spouses by this unforgettable nickname and ONLY by this nickname. 3 of us, unrelated to this decision, are now divorced (if any single, film-classic-loving "Corn Dogs" are out there and ready to mingle with other single "Corn Dogs", please feel free to private message us ;-))). The only reason you should not watch this film would be if you were slowly being dragged underwater by a merperson (gender neutral term) and it were dragging you at a rate that in an hour and a half you would be dead. In that case, you should watch the Bee Movie by Jerry Seinfeld (™). However, we would highly recommend this film to any other recently-divorced people, as it helps to distract from the crippling and horrifying loneliness and regret of life.
