Heart warming but failed to live up to expectations.

Rating: 6/10 (18 November 2004)

I had high expectations for this film due to it's all star cast -- but it flopped after the first half an hour or so. Oscar the little wannabe fish is cute for the first 10 minutes -- then he gets old. Angie the sweet best friend fish was annoying me throughout the movie while Lola the sexy seductress was quite funny for a few minutes -- Angelina Jolie did voice her very well though. It failed to keep me entertained as I soon got bored but I noticed that my younger cousins (around 12 years old and below) seemed to enjoy it -- so maybe the film was geared towards their age group, however they were too young to understand most of The Godfather jokes and speech. Overall it was sweet, predictable of course (aren't they all?) but forgettable compared to other animated blockbusters like Shrek and The Incredibles.
