I was expecting more from the people behind Shrek

Rating: 6/10 (2 January 2005)

Shark Tales is about Oscar (Smith) who dreams of being someone and Lenny the Shark (Black that doesn't want to eat meat, to his fathers (De Niro) disappointment. Lenny and Oscar meet when Lennys brother accidentally gets killed by an anchor and some fishes passing by think that Oscar slayed the shark, thus making him a celebrity.
I was having high hopes for this movie, but I noticed that the laughs, even though they were there, were few and far between. But when they came, they're good. It started of promising when they showed fish town, but then there's a long period of virtually no good jokes. Siting in a cinema watching a comedy and hearing no one laugh for a long time was frustrating, especially as this movie has the tag "from the people behind Shrek" and when I saw Shrek in the cinema, people were laughing all the time.
An OK movie. 6/10
