Review

Cobbling together the starpower of Toy Story, the pop culture spoofs of Shrek and the undersea environment of Finding Nemo, Shark Tale comes across as nothing more than a cold commodity. An underwhelming Smith stars as Oscar, the bland everyfish who witnesses an accidental great white death and claims to be the sharkslayer; it's all fun and games until he runs into the shark's father, who happens to be a Godfather (the self-effacing De Niro). This is plugged into a generic storyline of innocent love (with Zellweger), a femme fatale (Jolie), and the requisite chases inbetween. Any satire is reduced to awful puns (Coral-Cola, anyone?), and the fishy animation was much more impressive when Pixar tackled it a year earlier. There are still some pleasures to be found, however, such as Scorsese's amusing turn as a mob toady and the visual gag of a poor sushi chef who can't lure any customers. Most curiously, there is the case of De Niro's other son, a fey vegetarian shark (Black) who has to "come out" to his mobster dad after cross-dressing as a dolphin (bandana around his neck and all!). If more of this Tale had that kind of edge, Dreamworks might have had a winner -- instead it winds up as just another fish in the sea.
