Weak.

Rating: Null/10 (27 September 2004)

Whereas Pixar's animated flicks are built around a solid script with well-developed characters and some pop culture references added in, Shark Tale is built around stereotypes and dated pop culture references. It feels like this script was written at least ten years ago.
While the preview audience I was in was fairly entertained (there were a lot of kids in the audience), I found it to be fairly pedestrian and weak. I quickly lost interest long before Oscar starts rapping to MC Hammer and starts spouting over-used one-liners from much better movies ("You can't handle the truth!" "You had me at hello!").
Your entertainment dollar would be spent watching something else.
