This movie is so fucking ridiculous I love it. I especially love when Cody's human mom is like "your mermaid mom promised yo bring you back by next school year!" like WHEN did she say that. Also I have questions about why being a mermaid gives you Spiderman powers.

It was a typical Disney movie but I remember watching it as a kid and I also love mermaids so lowkey vibe with it
