77. Splash (1984)

Larry Crowne once caught a fish "thiiiiiissss biiiiiig"!  This week Noah merMAKEs Dave watch Splash!...and we aren't talking about the reality TV game show on FOX.  We're talkin' Tom Hanks, John Candy, Eugene Levy, and a Mermaid Darryl Hannah that, from the look of her "bocci balls (!)", isn't so little!

This is one dilly of a sea pickle.  Throughout his life, Tom Hanks has never learned how to swim and he keeps falling overboard and getting rescued by a mysterious naked Darryl Hannnah who lives off the shore of Cape Cod.  After one of his more recent near drownings, he loses his wallet and she claims it, using it as her guide to find his apartment in New York City. Turns out she's a mythical Mermaid on Mermaid Rumspringa and she has only six days to decide whether to return to her life of Cape Cod underwater lifeguarding or become a bonafide bloomingdale's bedecked landlubber. Explaining all this to Hanks, whilst simultaneously knocking booty with him is complicated, to say the least.  However, Eugene Levy is on her trail (or should we say tail) to expose her true identity.  Grab some tartar sauce and go easy on the garlic bread, cuz like Red Lobster, we're gonna sea food better! 

Dave warns the world of sea urchin idenity theft and triathlon treachery. Noah reminisces of his former days of being a happy little tadpole.
