Shark Tale
Will Smith plays a little fish who everyone thinks is a shark slayer, but the shark is really his friend who isn’t interested in eating fish so helps his buddy get a big reputation. Can he keep the secret?
Jer and I watched this on cable a while back. It was starting when we sat down so we thought we’d check it out. I really had no big desire to see the movie before that point.
I thought it started out pretty corny with all the underwater/fish gags of stores and other city bits. That was over pretty soon though. Will Smith was goofy, but likeable as the main fish kid. I loved the shark that was a vegetarian. He was funny. Angelina Jolie was the sexy fish, but I found her to be disturbing. I think they tried too hard to make her fish look human with the hair and stuff. It just looked too odd.
The storyline was predictable, but it seemed like a cute kid movie. It wasn’t as funny as Shrek or Toy Story, but it wasn’t super annoying.
