Home Alone with Fish

Rating: 6/10 (6 November 2003)

First off: the animation work is excellent. From a technical perspective this is a fine movie. It also has a few truly funny moments (sharks) and fairly decent voice-acting..
But this movie is terribly reminiscent of half the sitcoms and children's movies out there. It is like a cross-section of California stereotypes were given plastic surgery and dropped in water. The formula has been been tortured to death by Hollywood in general and Disney in particular.
Thus, Finding Nemo makes good watching for young children and people who don't see many films, but movie-lovers will find it boring and stale.
On the whole not a bad movie, but hardly an original piece of work: 3/5..
