Leave your thoughts about The Day of the Dolphin.
| VarietyVariety StaffA rare and regrettably uneven combination of ideas and action. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA disappointing adaptation of the best-selling novel, neither satisfying as thriller or as adventure. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaDepois da proeza de conseguir fazer com que acreditemos em sua premissa absurda (um golfinho falante), o filme se rende a uma trama óbvia e repleta de clichês. |
| PopMattersErich KuerstenJake told us kids that what we always suspected was true: the summer of love was dead, long live the summer of the shark. |
| TIME MagazineJay CocksWhat is left, besides a lot of pretty dolphin footage, is some bad intercollegiate-revue satire, a shadow of Sea Hunt, and a calculated sentimentality that evokes memories of Lassie Come Home. |
| Time OutGeoff AndrewA bizarre and often ridiculous attempt to merge documentary, suspense and comedy. |
| Village VoiceAndrew SarrisWhat is left, besides a lot of pretty dolphin footage, is some bad intercollegiate-revue satire, a shadow of Sea Hunt, and a calculated sentimentality that evokes memories of Lassie Come Home. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbyThe Day of the Dolphin is not a movie with much personality of its own. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMike Nichols’ The Day of the Dolphin trips on its own stylishness and tries so hard not to be a conventional science-fiction thriller that it fails, alas, to be anything. |
| The New YorkerPauline KaelThe plot soon disintegrates into dumbness, despite Scott's believable portrayal of an aquatic Dr. Dolittle. The screenplay chooses some poor times to relieve tension, and the jokes fall flat. |
