From the article:

"...Two-time Oscar winner and three-time Emmy winner Sally Field could easily add another nomination to her illustrious credits in director/co-writer Olivia Newman’s heartwarming adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s popular novel.

Field stars as Tova, a widow who finds new purpose when she begins working at an aquarium in the Pacific Northwest and forms a special connection with a giant Pacific octopus named Marcellus, whose thoughts we hear courtesy of Alfred Molina‘s mellifluous voice.

An unusually perceptive creature of the sea, Marcellus takes a special interest in Tova and her budding friendship with a drifter, Cameron (Lewis Pullman), who’s arrived in town seeking family connections. From its watery perch, Marcellus will do what it can to help them both find happiness.

Back when Sally Field was a recent two time Oscar winner, 1979 & 1984, she made a cute movie with James Garner. I watched it for the umpteenth time the other day. It's still cute and while Sally was ok it was Garner who stood out.

Plot: Emma, a divorced mother with one son, buys a rundown horse ranch and tries to start her life over. Murphy is a widowed druggist and a hot property for the widows in town. He doesn't lack for dinner invitations. For some reason he falls for Emma and things are progressing until her ex-husband shows up, broke looking for Emma to take him in and take care of him. Things are dicey for awhile but in the end Murphy & Emma properly start their romance.

James Garner died in 2014, such as shame. His most recent memorable movie roll was in The Notebook and he was in TV's Maverick & The Rockford files...to name just a few of his roles.
