An original, okay film

Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2003)

Finding Nemo is an okay movie. The idea is good and original, but
the beginning is very sad and too much of the same thing was
happening. The very funny parts were in the fish tank that Nemo
gets captured in.
What happens is that Nemo is a an only child, or only fish, if you
want to say that. He lives with his overprotective father. On the first
day of school his dad catches him not being with the group and he
and his friends are having a contest to see who can get closer to
"the butt" (a boat). Nemo's dad gets mad so, to prove that he's
brave, Nemo swims up and touches "the butt". He gets captured
by scuba divers and put in a tank in a dentist's office. He meets
many crazy fish and it's a fun movie once you get into it. But it's a
little slow and I really wanted to smack Dory, a fish who teams up
with Nemo's dad, Marlin, to go and find Nemo. I also wanted to
smack Marlin. Of course, there are corny parts at the end but, it's
Disney. What can you expect? I'd probably give this film 6 out of 10
stars because it's funny and sort of original, but it's slow and
annoying.
