Rotten fish........

Rating: 3/10 (10 June 2005)

Now a days, when you see a computer animated film (especially from Dreamworks), you expect it to please not only the kiddies, but the adults as well. You assume there will be humorous references that some children won't be able to catch, but that the grown-ups will understand and find entertaining as well.
You count on a little something in there for everybody (i.e. Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Shrek, Toy Story).
More importantly, you hope the movie will strike the funny bone of both generations so that the film can be appreciated and enjoyed by both genres.
Shark Tale has very little of this, and what it does manage to muster up, is surprisingly unfunny. In fact, Shark Tale is a pretty horrible film altogether. Not all the star power in the world could make this film less than the dreadful bore that it is.
These fish live in a very adult-like society (think of New York underwater), but there is just no good adult humor in this film!! Maybe kids will like it. But this is not an enjoyable film for us grown-ups. In fact, this movie is so bad, I won't bother to review its lousy story any further. There are plenty of other reviews that do that.
Be warned: This fish STINKS......badly.
The best thing for this reviewer about Shark Tale was the fact that I rented it and didn't buy it.Returning a movie never felt so good!
