Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: While diving, the scuba tank on Kornbluth's back is clearly fake. If it was a backup air source, the pinched-off air hose from the boat wouldn't have mattered.

Clever man meets mermaid comedy with Hanks fitting the bill as a lonely New York bachelor who falls in love with winsome mermaid Hannah. Candy is also delightful as Hanks' irresponsible brother. The script is very funny and director Howard has a wonderful eye for the sentimental and satiric.
