I saw it Saturday afternoon (big thumbs up to the Bedford's Movie Tavern off of Central on Airport Freeway - I'd never been there before).
The Plot: A sea nymph (who isn't hot) turns up at an apartment complex in Philadelphia. All the residents team up to help her get back home by way of a giant eagle.
The Real Plot: I wasn't kidding. That's the real plot.
Suspending Disbelief: Not a single person in the apartment complex suggests that the sea nymph is just a nutcase on crack.
Suspending Disbelief #2: No one turns on a television or a radio and I feel pretty comfortable in saying no one picks up a telephone.
Worth Seeing: I'm still not sure.

It looks kinda scary on the commercials.
Well, that story has been done before, but that's nothing new. Few original ideas anymore.
It's hard out there for a pimp
when has that story been done before?
Seriously? The "fish out of water" combined with "how do I get home" story has been done lots of times. I think it's probably one of the most used angles in the history of TV and movies. While not EXACTLY this story, the Lion King, Splash, Rain Man, Coneheads, Harry and the Hendersons, Little Mermaid...just some top of mind. Many many others of that ilk.
hmmm....I dont remember the eagle taking Madison at the end of Splash. Guess I missed that part.
Let's hear more about the tavern you went to?
