Acting great, movie not so much at times

Rating: 8/10 (3 February 2007)

The vocal talents in this film are great. I love the way Ellen DeGeneres portrayed Dory. Perfect actress. I find that, at times, the only thing keeping the movie funny is Dory. I found the plot strong but the execution weak in places. I like the movie and I've watched it a few times, but it's not a movie I'd watch over and over. It was a big hit and it'll be around for a while.
I was disappointed in the way that the director chose to portray several scenes. A couple of scenes (or animated motions) are repeated in the exact same way throughout the film. If the script calls for the same text to be repeated, it's okay to repeat it, just don't repeat the entire animation.
