Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: It's all good fun, even when the inevitable animated-movie life lessons and homilies begin floating in. Read more
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald: What Shark Tale lacks in originality it makes up for with sassy humor, bright, effective animation and terrific vocal work. Read more
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: A sprightly, funny DreamWorks feature. Read more
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times: Cluttered, claustrophobic and self-referential. Read more
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle: An entertaining 90 minutes. Read more
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper: It is not in the same level of Finding Nemo but I still think it is worth seeing. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Despite its well-crafted look and its urban verve, the picture falters in its second half. The storyline just isn't there. Read more
Bill Muller, Arizona Republic: For a kids movie, Shark Tale seems pretty old. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: It's Finding Nemo gutted of all its charm and remixed for urban hit radio. Read more
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle: Shrilly pandering to edgy, jive-talking, hip-hopping bents of the moment, [Shark Tale] churns up a sea of offensive ethnic stereotypes, unfunny situations, unsympathetic characters and lousy plotting. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: For all its swirling colors, funky tunes and impressive voice talent Shark Tale makes for lukewarm entertainment. Read more
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: The characters are underdeveloped even for 2-D players. And the moral -- that being loved and unfamous is more important than being a big shot -- is so fatuous as to be condescending. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: This one has the slickness of the Shrek movies, but there's not a whole lot beneath the surface. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Dreary, damp and derivative. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: All we know is that if you decide to see Shark Tale, go to a mall where there are other movies playing. Leave the kids. Take the cannolis. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: An uneasy mix of warmed-over Mafioso jokes and watery fish backgrounds. Read more
Jack Mathews, New York Daily News: The first must-see family movie of the fall. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: Swimming in the lucrative wake of Finding Nemo, DreamWorks's foray into computer-generated underwater animation is a rambunctious, reasonably amusing pop confection. Read more
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel: A briny, buoyant offer that you can't refuse. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Adults will see Shark Tale on a different level than their offspring, but both will enjoy it. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: Never comes together into a convincing enterprise Read more
Jeff Strickler, Minneapolis Star Tribune: The shallowness of the story and the washed-out characters leave Shark Tale swimming upstream. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: A fast-paced, star-studded, joke-stuffed piece of fast-food studio product. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: An uneasy cross between rival studio Pixar's Finding Nemo and DreamWorks' own Shrek franchise. Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Story is everything and Shark's is rather thin and soupy, despite the winning improvisational skills of stars Will Smith and Jack Black. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: Overfamiliarity extends to the story, jokes and music, most of which reference popular entertainment of about 30 years ago. Read more
Ed Park, Village Voice: The filmmakers don't have enough faith in the world they've created. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Shark Tale feels borrowed, sampled and dittoed from the collective funniness of the past 10 years in studio-made animation. Read more
