I never thought I would rave about a movie about fish. Actually, this story is about much more than that. It is about family and love and a tender relationship between a father and a son. I am not going to lie. At the end of this movie, I really teared up and almost cried. This movie was very heartfelt and it's definitely, without a doubt, the funniest movie I have seen this year.
The casting in this movie was sheer perfection. Brooks and Gould do great as the father and son, but the standout of the movie, is of course, Dory, voiced by the great Ellen DeGeneres. This is the best voice-over work since Robin Williams in Aladdin. A truly stellar voice over job with so many LOL moments. Also great was the 'tank gang,' as I like to call them. Great voice-over works from Garrett, Dafoe, and Janney.
The script for this movie is so fresh and so amazing that it crosses age barriers. It is a simple story that goes very far.
Two 50 year-old, a 19 year-old, and a year-old all laughed equally during this movie. It truly is a movie for all ages. A funny and heart-tugging story for everyone.
Nothing more to say that hasn't already. This is one GREAT movie.
