Pleasant, not exactly funny.

Rating: 5/10 (13 June 2003)

I thought the movie was pleasant--I got a couple of chuckles. I love the Toy Story movies, Shrek, Bug's Life, so with all the great reviews I was primed for a real laugher. I just didn't laugh, though. The whale talk got stale--fast, the 12 step shark program wasn't that funny. I liked the seagulls, and I liked the Psycho reference. Finally, I thought the most striking thing was that Marlin (the father) was the one expected to mature and let Nemo go. Yet, if Nemo had listened to his father in the first place, he wouldn't have had to be found.
