I loved it! It was family friendly. Romance but not sex. I loved how it was about sister's (women) who each had their own ability to bring to the table to help avenge their father. Very positive for girls. The costumes were great! Very hip but very sea-like. Kudos to the designer! The acting was very well done. Even though there were unknowns in the lead roles they were very good actors. Special effects were well done. Scenes were nice. Location was very well thought out. Script was good but hey when they begin the series I know it will get better with time. The concept was great. It did look like a pilot. Me and my family are still waiting for the rest of the series. We need more programing like this!

We watched an excellent movie tonight on Sky. it was called MERMAIDS. it was a TV Movie, which was designed as a Pilot for a series. However the series has not yet been picked up. I wanted to tell you because people on IMDb were saying how it is similar to Charmed..It is about 3 Mermaid sisters. who come to dry land to avenge the death of there merman father who was murdered by a fisherman. Its very funny as one of the sisters has real trouble trying to walk in heals. Everyone on IMDb were talking about it becoming a series. but it never got picked up. People are saying when Charmed finishes they wished this could have replaced it. I totally agree. i would loved to have seen this movie as a TV Series. You could totally tell it was designed as a pilot to a series to. so its a shame.

Nothing too deep, just an excellent piece of lightweight entertainment. Elements of romance, murder, adventure, a few funny moments. Three very different mermaid sisters, one tough and lives mostly underwater, another who lives permanently on land and is looking for her soulmate, the third one divides her time pretty evenly between land and sea and is just looking for some fun. Throw in the murder of their father, a couple of unscrupulous characters and a good looking male lead and you have an entertaining couple of hours of escapism. The end looks like a pilot for a TV series, I really hope it gets picked up. I watch very little television, but I'd watch this if it were a series.

I had the opportunity to watch this movie one night on PAX tv. It is about three mermaid sisters who are looking for revenge on the fisherman who murdered their father. One of the sisters lives on land, the other comes up every now and then for a "good time" and the third has never set foot on the ground before and hates all human beings. This provides some extra conflict when deciding what to do about the fisherman, which I have to admit really helped the story along. There are several subplots of sibling rivalry, romance, etc. some of which probably could have been left out. The special effects really were not bad for a low budge-made for tv movie. They also explore a lot of old mermaid lore, which was pretty interesting. All in all it really wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. If you liked the movie "Splash" I would give this one a chance. Who knows; you might get HOOKED. LOL
