Has its moments., 22 November 2006
6/10
Author: Tommy Nelson from Long Beach, California

Stars: Will Smith, Renee Zellwegger, Jack Black, Robert Deniro, Martin Scorsece, Peter Falk, Angelina Jolie and Katie Couric.

I can't say anything too bad about this film, but I can't say anything too good. I thought the animation was really smooth, and it was nice how all the fish looked like their voice actors. My problem with this was how much you don't care about the main character "Shark Slaying" Oscar. The best scenes in this movie are the Robert Deniro/Godfather scenes. I found those to be great parodies, and I really got in to them. However I just found the rest of the film to be too showey, and not enough emotion. I do recommend this if you enjoy computer animated films however.

My rating: ** 1/2 out of ****. 91 mins. PG for mild violence.
