Fantastic "animation" can't overcome mediocre movie

Rating: 4/10 (16 October 2004)

"Shark Tale" is visually another gem from the Dreamworks factory. And the vocal talent behind the characters was first rate (with the exception of Katie Couric, who played much too big a role for such an annoying person).
Alas, the story was very weak. The premise behind how Jack Black and Will Smith's characters came together was interesting. But the obligatory romance sub-plot and too many uninteresting characters weighed it down. And in the end, with the exception of the last fifteen minutes, the movie is not that funny or entertaining.
4 out of 10
