Editorial Reviews

As gangster-film parodies go, Shark Tale is in a league of its own -- 20,000 leagues under the sea, that is. This Academy Award-nominated computer-animated feature reeled them in at the box office and, with its rich complement of special features, should make it an even bigger splash on DVD. The A-list voice cast gives a new meaning to "star fish." Will Smith is jive-talking Oscar, a tongue scrubber at the local Whale Wash who yearns to live among the "somebodies" at the top of the reef. Renée Zellweger costars as Angie, a co-worker with an unrequited crush on the clueless Oscar. Robert De Niro is Don Lino, a shark looking to turn over control of the reef to his sons, but one of them gives him a sinking feeling. Jack Black is Lenny (presumably a play on the fact that he sounds like Laverne & Shirley's Squiggy), a vegetarian with no taste for the family business. Lenny and Oscar form a surprising alliance when Oscar is mistaken for a shark slayer. Fame and fortune turn his head, but Oscar will learn that life at the top of the reef can be a shallow existence. The supporting voice cast is no less impressive, with Martin Scorsese as a puffer fish to whom Oscar is deep in debt and Angelina Jolie as a gold-digging fish fatale. The script is filled with movie references and puns -- there "shell-phones," a "prawnshop," and an anchorwoman named "Katie Current," perkily voiced by Katie Couric. Taking its cue from the Shrek DVDs, the Shark Tales disc contains an exclusive animated musical segment set on the dance floor of "Club Oscar." Shark Tale does not tell as primal a story as Finding Nemo, and many of the jokes will float over children's heads, but the film's high spirits never flounder. Donald Liebenson, Barnes & Noble

Great Concept, Terrible Executionby bookin-it

November 21, 2009: Dreamworks really screwed the pooch on this movie. In my opinion the fish looked ridiculous, and nothing in it made me laugh or even attempted to move me in any way. To me, this movie was very forgettable - in fact, I was GLAD to forget it. I was even tempted to wake up at 4 in the morning and deliver news papers on my bike just to earn my wasted money back. But I decided this movie took enough of my time already. Watch Finding Nemo.

I Also Recommend: Finding Nemo.

A Wonderful Fishy Tale!by Anonymous

April 25, 2005: Shark Tale was so much better than I expected. It’s a wonderful fishy tale that anyone will love! The story was fun to begin with and the characters were priceless! Famous Hollywood stars voiced the characters and that made the fish come to life more. I like that because you had a preconceived idea of what the characters would be like than just having regular actors that no one’s ever heard of. My favorite characters were the Jamaican jellyfish brothers, Bernie and Ernie. They were a laugh. But all the fish were. I also loved the spoofs throughout the movie. Some personal favorites were the ‘Kelpy Kremes” doughnuts and news reporter, “Katie Current.” If you liked Finding Nemo and spoofs from pop-culture today then Shark Tale is a must see!
