Too bland for any kid over age 7, Zeus and Roxanne is one of those utterly formulaic family movies that is so harmless it could put even younger kids to sleep. It's really about a cute dog (Zeus) who develops a fun-filled friendship with a clever dolphin (Roxanne) along the tropical coasts of the Bahamas. Zeus's owner is a kid whose bachelor father (Steve Guttenberg) is trying to compose a rock opera, and Roxanne is being lovingly studied by a single marine biologist (Kathleen Quinlan) who's got two young daughters. In true Brady Bunch fashion, they all get together to form a family, but there's danger afoot when another scientist threatens to use Roxanne for unfriendly research. There's plenty of surf and sun to go with this save-the-dolphin sentiment, so Zeus and Roxanne score a few points for being good-natured and adorable. Whether any kid will watch it more than once is another matter entirely. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 stars Dog meets Dolphin March 4, 2000
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I know the general consensus is that the movie is a little too "dear", but I rather enjoyed it,--So did my Great Dane Courageous, who watched it entranced. Perhaps the Dog-Dolphin connection is real!--but then what I do for a living (surgical intensive care) is so intense and so often lacking in happy endings that I take whatever opportunities arise for an emotional vacation. This was certainly that. Steve Guttenberg was his usual Mister Nice Guy--he's done that same roll several times (Three men and a Baby, Cocoon, etc.); he just says different things each time, but he along with the tropical setting were nice to look at anyway. I'm less familiar with Ms Quinlin's vita, but I thought she was quite creditable as a dedicated bio-oceanographer/dolphin specialist. Certainly the quest for the elusive grant is a theme with which I am familiar, working as I do at a university hospital. I especially enjoyed seeing veteran bad-guy Arnold Vosloo in a wonderfully comedic roll as the villianous foil of dog and dolphin. Some of the expressions on his face when dealing with the assorted animals in the film were worthy of Cary Grant in his comedy hay-day (Bringing up Baby and I Was a Male War Bride). Probably the very best performances however were given by Zeus (the dog) and Roxanne (the dolphin) who were some of the best trained animals I've ever seen. (I do hope Courageous was taking note, as he is often not the paragon of polished canine behavior!) My favorite scene was the "escape of Zeus" by means of the balcony. Definitely worth a replay.

3.0 out of 5 stars Zeus and Roxanne March 10, 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
While this movie certainly isn't Accademy Award Winning material, it is a very intertaining, good-valued, family movie - and my children (4 and 6) loved it! Both wanting to be "dolphin trainers" when they grow up, we had exhausted the Flipper movies and this was a fresh dolphin adventure for them. The dog (Zeus) just added to the excitement and fun. He is a wonderfully trained animal. We just had to buy it for our collection.
