A good man at heart, he must find his way back to his family before he runs of out chances.
Drawing on inspirations as diverse as Charles Bukowski and The Honeymooners, this romantic adventure features songs that are anthems of our time'from James Brown, Janis Joplin, Engelbert Humperdinck, Tom Jones, Bruce Springsteen, and more'which illuminate the characters' hopes and dreams. When pushed to their breaking points (and beyond), these conflicted characters break into song, singing along'sometimes lip-synching, sometimes in full voice'with the music lodged in their subconscious.

Dive in! A sea full of wonders awaits. Famed oceanic filmmaker Howard Hall (Into the Deep) guides this immersive adventure that lets you swim alongside some of the most exotic creatures of the planet.
Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet provide the narration. And an unusual array of finned and scaled stars are ready to steal every scene.
Among them: Green Sea Turtles who gather off Kona so that Surgeonfish can strip harmful algae from their shells... an ominous, predatory Humboldt Squid that changes color four times per second like a flashing strobe light... an underdog Mantis Shrimp, whose claws have the speed of a 22-caliber bullet, in battle against a hungry octopus (the shrimp wins!).
So many creatures. So many amazing stories. Sea them all.
