Modernizing a fairytale must be done with class and beauty in order to keep the integrity of its original magic and charm. This retelling of The Little Mermaid was basically a story of "What would happen to the mermaid if she came out of the sea and found herself at a kegger in some trashy town full of vulgar alcoloholic men?" In a nut shell, that's what happens in this film. Her first night on land, she is pulled out of a pool by a drunken man who had just pissed on a tree. He tells her she's "smokin' hot". She then sleeps with an arrogant cad who tells her she looks like sh%t the next morning. She then gets a job at a strip club where men proceed to make icky comments to her about her body. Gross. Just about the worst re-imagining of any story I have ever seen. The person (a man, no doubt) who created this film was obviously just living out some twisted sexual fantasy about a lovely and sweet fairytale character. This film fits the porn genre and should have been made that way to begin with because that was its intention.
