Idiotic attempt to cash in on 'Finding Nemo'

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2011)

Finding Nemo was a fable that occurred in the natural world. It was endearing and eminently entertaining.
This idiotic abomination is set in an underwater world where electric billboards and telephones and nightclubs just defy logic.
One of the main plot devices occurs with a great white shark which is killed by a falling anchor while hunting a tiny reef-dwelling fish. In nature such a large shark would barely notice such a tiny creature let alone try to eat it.
Sharks in this film are a mafia-like organization, and the brother of the slain shark is a sensitive vegetarian type. Their father was played by Robert De Niro ... what on earth was he thinking?
So the tiny fish that was being chased by the shark becomes known as a shark-slayer and reaches hero status in the reef. He even becomes the face of Coca-Cola (no, really) but eventually comes clean to be with the one he loves and to lead a more humble life ... running a whale-washing business (no, really).
Don't even bother with this weak, shallow little effort. It clearly wants to cash in on Finding Nemo's success but lacks wit and charm.
