Sharkpun Heaven!

Rating: 8/10 (31 December 2004)

The Pixar computer animated classic "Finding Nemo" found itself a pool of box office euphoria. Since "Finding Nemo" were "the fisher kings" of the box office last year, Dreamworks decided to go fishing for some of their own dough and develop their own fishy animated story. I introduce you "Shark Tale". Audiences also took the bait on "Shark Tale" by rounding up satisfactory box office coin. However, it did not reach the deep sea pockets of Nemo. "Shark Tale" stars Lenny the tiburon (voiced by Jack Black) as a gentle sharkey lacking the fury of his fellow sharkanians. In other words, he is no sharkey's machine! I guess Lenny does not fit in the school of sharks. The situation does not "boat" I mean bode well with Don Lino, Lenny's shark daddy (voiced by Robert Deniro). Don Lino wishes Lenny was a bone shark instead of a lone shark. Next, I introduce Oscar the hyper bling-bling fish (voiced by Will Smith). Even though Smith will not receive any Oscar nominations for his voice-over of Oscar, it is still deserving of a goldfish statuette instead of the aforementioned goldman statuette. Oscar is chatty, manipulative, and debonaire. Angie the pescada (voiced by Renee Zellweger) is in love with the big "O" and would give her left gill for him. She wants to have Oscar at below! Then we come to Lisa (voiced by Angelina Jolie) who is the fish girl interrupted who is trying to prevent from Oscar & Angie from hooking up. However, Lisa wants Oscar for his bills and not for his gills. Through some unforeseen circumstances, Oscar is recognized as "the shark slayer" because of Lenny's generous antics. Shark Tale's relentless puns was the prominent feature why you should deep into "Shark Tale" at your own risk! **** Good
