Call me crazy, but I managed to love Free Willy's entire plot and lovable characters without any scratch attached to it. Also, who could expect a killer whale to be this friendly when they have 'killer' in their name?

This is one of the greatest movies to ever watch. Simply breathtaking. Jason James Richter is an amazing actor and Keiko the whale is a true gem. This is a movie that every person in the world has to watch...

A fairly moving film with good acting and quite touching story. Great family film.
