About A Mermaid's Tale
12-year-old Ryan moves to the town where her father was born—a bleak, dying fishing town. However, exploring the coast, she discovers a cove that is home to a mysterious girl named Coral who reveals herself to be a mermaid.
Directed by Dustin Rikert, A Mermaid's Tale leans on a strong ensemble — Jerry O'Connell, Barry Bostwick, Caitlin Carmichael — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about family titles of 2017.
