Excellent movie- one for the whole family, or just the adults

Rating: 9/10 (2 March 2005)

The foundation of this film is that it is a kid's movie and they tried to make it entertaining for the adults as well. I say they succeeded on both accounts. My little sister (12) my wife and I, my mother, and grandmother all watched this film together and found it very enjoyable. There were so many hilarious moments, the characters looked, acted, and moved like their voice counterparts.
Keep you eyes open and observe the whole scene, there is often really funny things happening in the background that you may not catch unless you are looking for them.
If you want complete explanations of the whole "shark mafia" thing, then don't go to this movie. It is not going to win some yuppie (pun not intended) indie award for changing the way you perceive life or for capturing an accurate portrayal of undersea reef survival under the oppression of gargantuan sharks with the capacity to surpass their ingrained bi-modal processes of eat and swim that have formed a structured society based on mafia conceptions etc... bla bla bla. Save over analyzing a movie for when you are drinking grandee cafe-mocho-choco-late-sans lactose and crunching on overpriced biscotti.
All in all, a GREAT MOVIE! I give it thumbs up... but don't take my word for it...
