I saw this movie one my Columbus Day off with my interested mother. She thought that it was cute, but not worth six bucks.
I thought it was a cute little movie and had some charms, but these really felt like silly, mass-produced, generic charms. I think I could have come up with the same jokes or even better ones, and I'm not even graduated from high school yet. However, I like the pop-cultural fizz in the story about Oscar lying about killing a shark and becoming a "somebody". I guess it makes fun of being famous to a certain point, but they could have done more.
The story itself doesn't really clunk too much. The "Godfather" gags fit in well and it essentially moved along smoothly. I liked the jellyfish who spoke like Jamaicans, as well as Marty Scorsece as Sykes, Oscar's boss, and Academy Award-Winner Renee Zellwegger is perfectly cast as Angie, the ditzy yet lovable angelfish who loves Oscar.
To overview: Yeah, it works as a nice little family film, but the only reason it made $100 Million as of October 23, 2004 is an awesome marketing campaign doubled over with the enmourously effective outcome of "Shrek 2" (it was hilarious, people loved it and the "Shark Tale" previews made them want more). You may be better off waiting until it comes to DVD.

In 1998, when I was in the fifth grade, I loved to watch this show on CBS. Unfortunately, it only lasted a single season. I feel bad for switching to a dumb fad at midseason. I am desperate to see it again. Nick, please hear me.
