A lot of pros and one MAJOR con

Rating: 5/10 (18 January 2005)

I've really enjoyed the little things. As; the comments and references to other movies, especially the godfather trilogy that I just saw recently. The shark voice over by de Niro WAS de Niro, his voice, his face marks, the details, they were all great. Without analysing and telling what line and expression comes from what movie, it's fun game to play with friends when you are watching. As for the star; Will Smith is funny, his ability to be fun cool and quick is an undisputed talent from the days of the Fresh Prince. The story was simple but fun, I really liked the way the parallels between a vegetarian shark and coming out of the closet. With all these pros, what is wrong with this movie? My guess is the too big an emphasis on the MTV R&B culture. In the beginning it's fun, mimicking MTV's crips, but in the end it's too obvious and it starts to annoy. For me the song in the end, too much! And please oh please don't forget the sponsors. Why oh why didn't they use the blue Coca Cola sign? sorry; Coral Coca Sign. The coffee that floats away in the see is funny, but this against the very big 10 seconds 2 times reoccurring cola sign. I know a studio has to make money but less obvious, please? In conclusion it wasn't bad and 5.8 average is quite right. The hints to other movies like (Theme song Jaws is from Spielberg, and he's owner of Dreamworks) That makes this movie fun. The weakness is that the creators watched too much MTV television, and that is bad for you! if you are above 23.
