Pretty fun

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2004)

I found this movie to be just fun. It is nowhere in the quality of Finding Nemo, Shrek, or Toy Story 2 but I found it a good time at the movies. Will Smith is very entertaining as the fish who tries to make himself into somebody by claiming to be a shark slayer. Robert De Niro is very good as the voice of the head shark. There are many in joke references to mobster movies and of course Jaws. I also liked Martin Scorsese as the opportunist blow fish who tries to use Smith's character to his advantage. The only one I was not impressed with was Jack Black as the shark who is a vegetarian. Maybe it is because I am not really a fan of his but his character is whiny and weak. This movie may not be appropriate for very young children because the sharks can be scary at times and the in joke references will go over their heads. 7/10
