Fantastic! Hilarious!

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2005)

I think this movie is very underrated! Its one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. I liked it as much as Finding Nemo (there were few similarities) and it was certainly better than that horrible The Incredibles.
This movie has so many hilarious lines, and so many great characters. Unlike Nemo, which had several annoying characters (Crush, the sea turtle), SHARK TALE has no annoying characters. Its actually not easy to pick a favorite. (Although I like Ernie and Bernie best) I thought that my parents wouldn't like the movie because it has a lot of street slang, but they actually really enjoyed it. There are several good lessons in the movie; 1) You shouldn't lie 2) You should appreciate what you DO have, and 3) You should accept your loved ones no matter what makes them different and weird (for example, being a vegetarian shark).
I don't like to see comparisons to Finding Nemo, but everyone seems to do it. Finding Nemo is more innocent...there's no hemorrhoid or fart jokes. It takes place in a reef that LOOKS like a reef, and the fish look more like fish. SHark Tale on the other hand, takes place in a reef that looks like New Yorks Times Square, and there are shops with fish related names. Its a big city really. The only similarity is the fact that Lenny is a vegetarian and the sharks from Finding Nemo are attempting to give up eating fish.....because sharks have a bad name.
Its absolutely hilarious.....a definite recommendation!
