Kids will love it, parents will be annoyed at its attempt for cuteness

Rating: 6/10 (6 June 2009)

With Finding Nemo released a year before this, it was only a matter of time before Dreamworks came with another Oscar-nominated CGI project. Pulling in big stars such as Will Smith, Renée Zellweger, Jack Black and tons others, this proves Dreamworks desperation to make a film that can top Pixar...which in my opinion Shrek is the only one with a chance. Filled with clever puns such as "Shell Phones" and "Kelpy Creams", but really tries too hard. You're children will probably enjoy Shark Tale better, but later will see how much Finding Nemo makes a better film. Good for keeping your kids quiet for 90 minutes or so...but be sure to order refreshments so at least you'll have something that you're getting by seeing this giant attempt for hipness and laughs.
