Wait for the next film

Rating: 2/10 (11 October 2004)

My 5 year old daughter and I went to see Shark Tale yesterday. What can I say...Its Boring!. My daughter, who previously laughed so loudly at Shrek and Shrek 2 that I thought we would get kicked out of the theatre, only laughed quietly at a couple of parts. The animation is average, the storyline is predictable, and the characters play off of racial/ethnic stereotypes to get the few laughs received. Like another reviewer, I felt that after awhile, the characters got annoying and I could not wait for the film to end. DeNiro does his "Analyze That" bit, Will Smith does his "Fresh Prince of Bel Air", and don't forget the blatant rip-off of the B-movie "Car Wash". Skip this one!
