Dolphin Tale 2 Part 1
January 03, 2018 11:30 - 43 minutes - 79.3 MBDolphin Tale 2 is a movie that's harder to describe than a pelican trying to make love to a sea turtle. Ellie thinks it's really 2 movies in 1 since after the movie is over you have to watch about 20 minutes of real footage on what the movie was based on.
