A syrupy-sweet, boy-meets-aquatic-mammal flick, "Dolphin Tale" is blatantly manipulative, saccharine as a mouthful of Sweet 'n Low, and, yes, is still a bit of playful, innocent fun. "Tale" is inspired by the true story of Winter, a dolphin who, caught in crab fishermen's ropes, washed ashore on a beach in Florida for all intents and purposes crippled. The ropes she was tangled in cut off the circulation to her tail, forcing the marine-rescue people who took her in to amputate her tail.
