Luke Wilson is about to lose the Blue Ocean Aquarium he inherited from his
grandfather—until he suddenly discovers he can understand what animals are
saying. With his last $100,000, he buys a 'dangerously crazy' polar bear that
turns out to be miserable because nobody ever gave it a cold bath or a good
scratch. Overnight, the aquarium becomes a sensation. Luke keeps taking risks:
he cures an 'anorexic, depressed' emperor penguin who was only upset because
his mirror was dirty; he befriends a supposedly killer sea lion who just wants a
stage to sing (badly); and he gets a pod of bored dolphins grooving to street
beats instead of classical music. But rival owner David keeps planting 'problem'
animals to destroy Luke's business. When a stranded wild orca goes berserk on
live TV, David dares Luke to help. Luke wades in, reaches into the whale's
mouth, and pulls out a broken turtle shell stuck in its teeth. The grateful orca
decides to stay with him. Luke's gift turns every attack into applause—and
builds an aquarium where animals are finally happy.
